Former National Security Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden speaks to America in videos posted to the Wikileaks web site. The videos are the first to show Snowden talking since he fled the country for Russia in July. Snowden says says National Security Agency surveillance programs make people less safe, put them in conflict with the government, and hurt the economy. The clips show Snowden in an ornate room just after receiving an award in Moscow from the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence.
