“The Most Wanted Man in the World” reveals further details about his leaks in the magazine’s September issue. He also discusses his hope of returning to the U.S.
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is featured on the cover of the September issue of Wired magazine.
For the feature, he was photographed clutching the stars and stripes by Platon, and interviewed by journalist James Bamford. Both travelled in secret to Moscow for it.

"I told the government I'd volunteer for prison, as long as it served the right purpose," he says.
"I care more about the country than what happens to me. But we can't allow the law to become a political weapon or agree to scare people away from standing up for their rights, no matter how good the deal. I'm not going to be part of that."
He claims that MonsterMind would not only have the capability to detect incoming cyber attacks, but also the ability to counterattack with no human intervention.
A major problem with the program, he claims, was that many of the attacks would be routed through computers in innocent third-party countries.
"These attacks can be spoofed," he says. "You could have someone sitting in China, for example, making it appear that one of these attacks is originating in Russia. And then we end up shooting back at a Russian hospital. What happens next?"
