Lawrence Lessig interviewed Edward Snowden a year ago
19th October 2015

Last year, US president candidate in the Democratic Party Lawrence interviewed Edward Snowden. The one hour interview was published by Harvard Law School 2014-10-23 on Youtube, and the meeting took place 2014-10-20.

The questions are very good, and there is lots of useful information to be learned and very interesting issues to think about being raised. Please check it out.

I find it especially interesting to hear again that Snowden did try to bring up his reservations through the official channels without any luck. It is in sharp contrast to the answers made 2013-11-06 by the Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg to the Norwegian Parliament, claiming Snowden is no Whistle-Blower because he should have taken up his concerns internally and using official channels. It make me sad that this is the political leadership we have here in Norway.
