for them to decide whether the documents should be published or not, without regard to US interests.

Is he now trying to get charged with treason?

“If I have time to go through this information, I would like to make it available to journalists in each country to make their own assessment, independent of my bias, as to whether or not the knowledge of US network operations against their people should be published.”

Note that Snowden is now admitting a few things. First, that that he plans on releasing the details of US intelligence efforts against far more countries. Who’s next? Exposing US efforts against Iran, against Cuba, against North Korea? Against Syria?

After he sorts through the documents, Edward Snowden says he will let journalists in those countries decide whether it’s safe and appropriate to print the classified documents he took from American intelligence, and whether the information he’s released poses a danger to our country. He wouldn’t want to let his “bias” as a former NSA employee, someone who actually understands the damage these documents can pose to American lives, interfere with the determination of the damage these documents might pose to American lives. He’d rather let non-experts, foreign experts, decide if information they don’t fully understand puts American lives at risk.

Does Edward Snowden really think the press in any foreign country is going to show a lack of “bias,” as he puts it, as to whether the classified information in their hands is damaging to the United States’ national security, or that it will put American or other lives at risk? Who is the Chinese press going to side with? How about the Russian media? How about Iran? Or North Korea? Or Syria?
