Snowden has reportedly already left the Moscow airport where he has been holed up for over a month. On Wednesday, The Guardian newspaper revealed details about another secret NSA program based on leaked documents provided by Snowden. The program, XKeyscore, allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals giving NSA analysts realtime access to "nearly everything a typical user does on the internet." To discuss these latest developments, we're joined by Spencer Ackerman, national security editor at The Guardian.
