This document is an excerpt from a House Oversight report analyzing Edward Snowden's 2013 decision to publicly reveal his identity as the NSA leaker. The text argues that Snowden's choice to be filmed by Laura Poitras in Hong Kong, rather than remaining anonymous like Bradley Manning, was a calculated move to achieve fame and transform himself into a public advocate, despite offers from editors like Ewen MacAskill to keep his identity secret. It highlights his coordination with journalists Greenwald, Poitras, and Gellman.
