What's Next in the Snowden Saga?: VICE Podcast 029

This week on the VICE podcast, Reihan Salam moderates a debate regarding the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who leaked classified NSA documents to journalists about the NSA surveillance programs, the first of which were revealed last June in the Guardian. The guests today are Fred Kaplan, "War Stories" columnist for Slate and Edward R. Murrow press fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and Ben Wizner, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy & Technology Project, who also serves as Snowden's chief legal advisor. Today's discussion was inspired by Kaplan's article "Why Snowden Won't (and Shouldn't) Get Clemency" on Slate: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/war_stories/2014/01/edward_snowden_doesn_t_deserve_clemency_the_nsa_leaker_hasn_t_proved_he.html Watch more VICE Podcasts here: http://bit.ly/VICE-Podcasts Check out the VICE podcast on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vice-media/id634513189?mt=2 Subscribe to VICE here! http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE Check out our full video catalog: http://bit.ly/VICE-Videos Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com Like VICE on Facebook: http://fb.com/vice Follow VICE on Twitter: http://twitter.com/vice Read our tumblr: http://vicemag.tumblr.com
