i am talking about the most massive detest in history of edward snowden. and the avalanche published and broadcasted around the world. i will not dwell on the debate of edward snowden's morals or his irony of the nation he fled to. what i do want to speak to is the nation's senior intelligence officer is the profound damage his disclosures caused and will continue to cause. as a consequence, my view is the nation is less safe and the people are less secure. what he stole has gone way, way beyond domestic surveillance programs. we have lost critical intelligence sources including some shared by valued partners. terr terr terrorists are going to school on the united states trade craft and the insights they are gaining are making our job much harded. and this involves putting the lives of people at risk and the armed forces, diplomats and citizens. edward snowden for his part claims he has won and his mission is accomplished. if that is so, i call in him and his people to return the stolen documents that haven't been exposed to prevent more damage into the un

that is the endgame. >> edward snowden, hero or traitor? >> over 95% of what the nsa contractor still has nothing to do with privacy. it had to do with defense, short-term and long-term strategic threat. the army, navy, air force and marines had nothing to do with anybody's question of privacy. that looks at it in a logical way, it's hard to walk away and think giving that to our emmy was anything less than treasonous. >> you have implied edward snowden may have gotten help from russia to carry this out. the technical capabilities were beyond his own. why do you think that? >> i think of this as a former fbi agent. look at the history starting in 2010, there's a large agree of suspicious behavior leading up to his decision to steal information. do witht had nothing to privacy issues or what the nsa was or wasn't doing and had everything to do with information that protects the united states. that information is something he may not have understood existence, so we are curious how the tool was developed to go after information that he may no

we know the nsa knew about the program because it was in the edward snowden files. ist we really have to know whether the nsa had access to the system, whether they raised concerns about americans' information being in there, because we know it was, and what else their involvement was because it doesn't look like the nsa -- it does look like the nsa itself could not have legally build a system like this. chris you called yahoo!. -- >> you called yahoo!. >> my colleague, spencer ackerman, called yahoo!. they were alarmed. if they were more secure, they would have encrypted people's chats. they could have prevented this. people were saying at the time that they should do it. it is not just hindsight, but now they have come out strongly come calling for reform of surveillance laws. they have been one of the companies that has pushed for reforms. now! invited yahoo!, but they did send a statement saying we were not aware nor would we condone this reported activity. this report, if true, represents a whole new level of violation of our users privacy and it is completely

he recently did it when he said there was indications that edward snowden was working with russian intelligence and every major newspaper in the country said not only is there no evidence of that, but that investigators have said it's not the case, that he acted alone. but i defy mike rogers, if he wants to make that accusation, to come forward and present actual evidence that any journalist has stolen -- has sold documents or stolen material or engaged in any kind of criminality.

now with the revelations that come from edward snowden, we know they're spying on us. if you have a verizon or at&t phone, you know the government has your records. we have had at least one district court decision come out of d.c. were they said you have standing. we think this is unconstitutional. we think we have a great chance on the standing argument. there are other cases, too, that i have met with and understand from edward snowden's e-mail provider. his entire company was shut down. he has a grievance that he lost his company because they did not want just his e-mail. they wanted the encryption keys and they wanted all of his customers. he was selling a service that was a confidential e-mail service. that is why you subscribed to it. they destroyed his business model. i think he will get into court. they may already be. i think is we'll also go to the supreme court as well. >> in some circles edward snowden is being described as a hero. how would you describe him? >> it is besides the point. the fourth amendment is a big and important issue. how we came to know

edward snowden came for to reveal a mammoth spying apparatus that spans the globe from phone records to text messages to social media and e-mail from a from the internal communications of climate summits to those of foreign missions, and even individual heads of state. these revelations have sparked intense public scrutiny. today, advocates are holding one of the biggest online action so far. >> it is called "the day we fight back: against mass surveillance." more than 6000 websites are taking part including reddit, tumblre and mozilla. the websites will display a banner encouraging visitors to fight back against surveillance. internet users are encouraged to post memes and change their social media avatars to reflect their demands. organizers announced the action on the eve of the debt of the anniversary of internet open access activist aaron swartz. over 8000 2012 websites went dark for 12 hours in protest of a pair of controversial bills that were being debated in congress -- the stop online percy act and the reject ip act. the bills died in committee in the wake of the protest. t

i would like to take a moment to echo the comments regarding edward snowden. in my professional military judgment, mr. snowden said disclosures have done damage to the department of defense and go far beyond the act of a so-called whistleblower. i have no doubt that he has placed the men and women of our armed services at risk and that his disclosures will cost lives on our future battlefields. i hope that he will heed the call to return any material he has not already disclosed for the safety and security of all americans. let me close by saying what an honor and a privilege it is to appear here on behalf of the men and women of the defense intelligence agency and the entire enterprise. i thank you for the continuing confidence in their work here at your support is vital to us as well as a national security. answering yourto questions. >> we will have a seven minute first round. let me start with you in ask a few questions about afghanistan. commander,int plusal millie, said in 95% of tactical firefights in which the afghan security forces engaged as they hel

. >> edward snowden refutes he was acting as a spy when he leaked documents. it was said that he was working for a foreign power, possibly washington. edward snowden denied the allegations in an interview with "the new yorker", he told the magazine: >> he added: >> returning now to the top story, the violence in the ukraine that left 25 people dead. anti-government protesters have been fighting police in the center of kiev, as we take you back there live. that is where freelance journalist olga is joining us, on the phone. it's good to have you with us. we are trying to get a better understanding here. we have been seeing on the streets for weeks a relative calm. why are we witnessing the bloodshed now? >> hello. well, basically it started yesterday with the marching protest, dubbed as a peaceful protest towards the ukrainian parliament. several dozens of people gathered and marched peacefully towards the parliament. there were many women, many young people among the procession, and once they got closer to the parliament, some provocation started. it's unclear
