WASHINGTON -- National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden says he would like to go home.
The former NSA contract systems analyst is living in Russia on a temporary grant of asylum after leaking a massive volume of NSA documents to the media.
In an interview with anchorman Brian Williams, of NBC News, Snowden said he had taken action in the belief that he was serving his country in exposing the surveillance programs of the NSA.
In the interview, Snowden claimed he worked undercover and overseas for the CIA and the NSA. He said he had a much larger role in U.S. intelligence than the government has acknowledged.
"I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word, in that I lived and worked undercover overseas," he said.
