Snowden to Reply to Obama's Statements on Reforms of NSA Next Week – Assange

Former US intelligence officer, whistleblower of National Security Agency (NSA), Edward Snowden will respond next week to President Barack Obama’s speech on the reform of the security services in the United States, said in an interview with CNN founder of the controversial website WikiLeaks, Julian Assange.

Obama said on Friday that Snowden’s revelations would affect security services for many years. He recalled that the audit of programs of surveillance of US intelligence did not find any violations of the law, but ordered them to reconsider. 

In particular, he said, the program of collection of metadata of cell phones will be discontinued (in its current form) and special services would receive a provision not to store the information that is collected that way.
