"[Snowden is] clearly an individual who's betrayed the trust and confidence
we had in him. This is an individual who is not acting, in my opinion, with
noble intent."
On allegations the NSA hacked text messages from Chinese mobile phones: "To
say that we're willfully just collecting all sorts of data would give you
the impression that we're just trying to canvas the whole world.
"The fact is what we're trying to do is get the information our nation needs
, the foreign intelligence, that primary mission, in this case and the case
that Snowden has brought up is in defending this nation from a terrorist
attack.
"Now we have other intelligence interests just like other nations do. That's
what you'd expect us to do. We do that right. Our main interest: who's
collecting on us? And I'd just say let's look back at where that source
comes from...
"I'm confident that we're following the laws that our country has in doing
what we do. We have a set of laws that guide how NSA acts; we follow those
laws. We have tremendous oversight by all three portions of the government:
the courts, Congress and the administration.
"Now when you look at these laws and the way they've been passed and the
oversight mechanisms that we have, I am confident that we are following our
laws." |
