White House Unsure What Files Edward Snowden Has

The Obama administration expressed heightened alarm today over fugitive leaker Edward Snowden's stash of secret spy files, as a new batch of highly classified papers spilled across the Internet, revealing how the U.S. government collected online data in bulk.

A top aide to President Obama conceded that the administration doesn't know yet all of what Snowden allegedly swiped while he was a National Security Agency contractor before he slipped to Hong Kong earlier this month and then to Moscow.

"Look, I don't know with certainty what Mr. Snowden has," Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes told reporters in Dakar, Senegal. "That's something that we're actively seeking to determine."

Snowden has already compromised "very classified programs" by leaking them to three newspapersand by taking files overseas, Rhodes said, acknowledging that the government still believes he's carrying the files on his person.

"So we have very strict protocols for how to handle classified information. It doesn't involve getting on a plane and going to Hong Kong and then getting on a plane and going to Russia," Rhodes said.

Edward Snowden, who worked as a contract employee at the National Security Agency, in Hong Kong, June 9, 2013.

The intelligence community is conducting both a damage assessment related to the leaks so far and a forensic audit of computers and systems that Snowden had access to, sources told ABC News. But the sources fear Snowden may have hidden his tracks well enough at NSA to make it impossible to determine everything he copied.

Snowden, who worked as an undercover computer specialist with the CIA before contracting with the NSA, is said to be in hiding in the "transit area" of a Moscow airport. Top U.S. officials have urged Russia to expel Snowden, who has been charged with espionage in the U.S., but Russia's President Vladimir Putin said earlier this week that Snowden is a "free person."

TIMELINE: Edward Snowden's Life as We Know It

During his goodwill trip to Africa, President Obama said today that he had not personally appealed to Putin to send Snowden back to the U.S. to face justice, nor was he prepared to pull out all the stops to collar him.

"No, I am not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker," Obama told reporters on Thursday morning, apparently referring to the chance Snowden could take a flight from Moscow to Havana, Cuba, which would travel over American airspace.

Did Obama Speak Too Soon on NSA File Harm?

While he is still concerned that Snowden could release more classified documents, Obama said he believed the real damage had already been done.

"I get why this is a fascinating issue," Obama said. "But in terms of U.S. interests, the damage was done with the first leaks."

But soon after the President spoke, The Guardian newspaper posted more U.S. intelligence files classified at the "SECRET" level and higher, as well as "NOFORN," meaning it was too sensitive to be distributed to foreign allies.

The NSA and Department of Justice documents detailed a decade of collection of email data mostly of foreigners but also U.S. persons, which top prosecutors determined was not constitutionally protected because it was strictly time, date, Internet Protocol addresses – unique to each individual computer -- and email addresses. The actual content of the messages was not collected by NSA under the program codenamed "Stellar Wind," according to The Guardian.

Mike Nova comments: I think that Snowden was motivated more by his need for personal "glory" than by his sense of social responsibility (possibly not unlike Assange). It is a subtype of a Herostratus crime. One of the differences from the classic version is that modern day herostrati prefer to live in diplomatic comfort rather than to face the music.

Obama, On Edward Snowden, Won't 'Scramble Jets'

President Barack Obama said on Thursday that he wouldn't be scrambling military jets to secure the capture of National Security Agency leak source Edward Snowden, saying he wouldn't participate in "wheeling and dealing" to get Snowden extradited back to the United States.

"I'm not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker," Obama said of Snowden at a press conference Thursday in Senegal, Africa. Snowden actually turned 30 years old last week.

Obama also said that he has not spoken to China President Xi Jinping or Russian President Vladimir Putin about Snowden's extradition.

"I have not called President Xi personally or President Putin personally," Obama said. "And the reason is because, No. 1: I shouldn’t have to."

Obama has come under some criticism from Republicans in Congress in recent days for the failure to bring Snowden back to the U.S. Snowden departed from Hong Kong on Sunday and has now been in Russia for five days. His original departure from Hong Kong set off a mad scramble to find him, including a group of journalists who were fooled into boarding a flight without him.

Thus far, Putin has bluntly rejected the White House's requests for extradition, saying it did not have reason to extradite Snowden because he had not committed any crimes in Russia. On Tuesday, the White House pushed Russia's government to "expel Mr. Snowden without delay."

Snowden, a former NSA contractor at Booz Allen Hamilton, was charged on June 14 with three felonies after leaking a trove of secrets about the NSA's surveillance programs. Each of the felonies carries a possible 10-year prison sentence.

Russia's parliament has extended an invitation to fugitive ex-CIA employee Edward Snowden to help investigate whether U.S. Internet firms provided information about Russian citizens to the U.S. government.

Snowden, a former contractor for the National Security Agency, is wanted by the U.S. for disclosing a top-secret surveillance program that allegedly targeted millions of Americans. He is reportedly in Moscow.

"We invite Edward Snowden to work with us and hope that as soon as he settles his legal status, he will collaborate with our working group and provide us with proof of U.S. intelligences agencies' access to the servers of Internet firms," Senator Ruslan Gattarov said Thursday, a day after Russia's upper house of parliament, the Federation Council, decided to set up a special working group to investigate Snowden's claims.

Gattarov, appointed to lead the group, told RIA-Novosti that it would incorporate legislators, diplomats, prosecutors and communications officials. Preliminary results of the investigation should be made public in October.

Meanwhile, a member of President Vladimir Putin's Human Rights Council, Kirill Kabanov, has said he asked his colleagues to consider asking the government to grant political asylum to Snowden. The council's chairman, Mikhail Fedotov, said the request would be considered and put to a vote.

President Barack Obama said Thursday that the U.S. would not engage in "wheeling and dealing" to win Snowden's extradition.

Senior U.S. lawmakers, however, seem more inclined to force the issue.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, said that he is preparing a package of measures to pressure Russia to assist the U.S. in securing the detention of Snowden.

"We are exploring what are the leverage points. I'm trying to put together a package to let the Russians know how serious we are," Graham told The Daily Beast Thursday. "We have to respond, this is a defining moment in the relationship."

Graham declined to elaborate on what measures he and his colleagues might pursue, though he accused Russia of ignoring the rule of law both domestically and abroad, adding that Putin is "trying to recreate the old Soviet Union attitude and image."

Snowden himself apparently remains in limbo at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, where Putin said he had been waiting in the transit area since his arrival on Sunday. He had been expected to fly to Havana on Monday en route to Ecuador, where he has asked for asylum, but witnesses said the flight left without any sign of him on board.

An immigration official said Snowden had not applied for a visa to enter Russia and that he could remain in the transit area "as long as he wants" without applying for a transit visa.

In the Ecuadorean capital of Quito, the government said it had not processed Snowden's asylum request because he had not reached any of its diplomatic premises.

Bristling at suggestions that Quito was weighing the pros and cons of Snowden's case in terms of its own interests, officials also said Ecuador would waive its preferential trade rights under a soon-to-expire treaty with the U.S.
