Snowden's leaks caused 'tremendous' damage to U.S. security -House panel
WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. House Intelligence panel issued a scathing report on Thursday accusing National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden of lying about his background, feuding with co-workers and leaking secrets that "caused tremendous damage" to U.S. security.
The House of Representatives Intelligence Committee report declared that Snowden was "not a whistleblower" as he has claimed in interviews and that most of the material he stole from NSA outposts was about intelligence and defense programs of great interest to U.S. foreign adversaries.
