Washington - A committee of the US House of Representatives issued a harsh report on Thursday accusing the former provider of agency services Edward Snowden National Security lie about your history of disagreements with colleagues and leak secrets that "caused tremendous damage" to US security.
The the House Intelligence Committee report stated that Snowden "is not a whistleblower" as he has said in interviews that most of the material he stole the agency was about intelligence programs and defense of great interest to external adversaries US .
The commission released only a summary of four pages of what it said was an investigative report of 36 pages done by committee staff and considered highly confidential. However, the summary has strong words about the actions and Snowden history.
The committee said that while the "full extent" of the damage caused by Snowden revelations remains unknown, a review of the material he allegedly committed "makes it clear that he gave secrets that protect US troops abroad and secrets related to defenses vital against terrorists and countries. "
The release of the report by the committee coincides with the release of "Snowden" Hollywood film directed by Oliver Stone, who portrays former provider of intelligence community services as a whistleblower and a hero.
On Wednesday, a prominent advocacy group Human Rights asked openly to President Barack Obama to issue a pardon Snowden before leaving the White House - a suggestion made by Snowden himself to the British newspaper The Guardian earlier this week.
US officials said Obama is not considering a pardon for Snowden, who is facing criminal charges in the US to provide secret information to unauthorized persons, and there is no discussion of a pardon within the Department of Justice.
