RIO DE JANEIRO: Edward Snowden has very sensitive "blueprints" detailing how the National Security Agency operates that would allow someone who read them to evade or even duplicate the agency surveillance, a journalist close to the intelligence leaker has said.

Glenn Greenwald, a columnist with The Guardian newspaper who closely communicates with Snowden and first reported on his intelligence leaks, said on Sunday that the former NSA systems analyst has "literally thousands of documents" that constitute "basically the instruction manual for how the NSA is built". "In order to take documents with him that proved that what he was saying was true he had to take ones that included very sensitive, detailed blueprints of how NSA does what they do," he said, adding, that Snowden insisted information from those documents not be made public. 

Vladimir Putin: NSA leaker a dubious present

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday called Edward Snowden's long stay at a Moscow airport as an unwelcome present foisted on Russia by the US. Putin says the US intimidated other countries against accepting Snowden. "Such a present to us. Merry Christmas," he was quoted as saying.
