Snowden goes public after fleeing to Hong Kong
Edward Snowden released a video saying the public must decide on surveillance programs and policies while acknowledging fear of capture. He left Hawaii for Hong Kong, considered asylum in Iceland, and used the code name Verax with the Washington Post. Supporters raised funds for his legal defense as officials weighed possible asylum options in Russia.
