Guardian 'Symbolically' Destroyed Snowden Evidence
- Press Gazette, Tuesday, August 20, 2013 3:03 PM
Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger revealed today that the paper agreed to the destruction of computer hard drives containing information from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden following pressure from the UK authorities. But he said the act was largely symbolic because The Guardian will continue to report on the information from overseas. The revelation comes after the partner of Guardian writer Glenn Greenwald was detained and questioned for nine hours at Heathrow airport on Sunday.
