EDWARD SNOWDEN: I Want To Go Home

"I don't think there's ever been any question that I'd like to go home," Snowden said. "I mean, I've from day one said that I'm doing this to serve my country."

After stealing hundreds of thousands of top secret documents from NSA servers, the 30-year-old former systems administrator became stranded in Moscow after arriving with no valid travel documents on June 23.

Russia granted asylum on August 1, and Snowden has been in living in an undisclosed location ever since. He doesn't know how he'd make it back to America.

"Now, whether amnesty or clemency ever becomes a possibility is not for me to say," Snowden said. "That's a debate for the public and the government to decide. But if I could go anywhere in the world, that place would be home."

Snowden also justified his decision to leak NSA files and said that he "will do everything I can to continue to work in the most responsible way possible -- and to prioritize causing no harm while serving the public good."

Williams also asked if Snowden would apply for an extension to his one-year temporary asylum, Snowden laughed and said "of course" he would apply if it ran out. In January, Russia signaled that it had already decided to extend his stay.
