自称美国国家安全局间谍的在逃犯斯诺登说，他希望返回美国。

在星期三首次接受美国电视台采访时，斯诺登对全国广播公司电视新闻主播威廉斯说，他自认为是爱国者，但在能够返回美国之前，他计划吁请俄罗斯延长对他的庇护。

奥巴马政府指控斯诺登叛国，泄露国安局监视项目，危及有关人员的生命，而斯诺登为自己进行了辩护。

当被问到是否愿意为返回美国而寻求达成一项协议时，斯诺登表示首先希望确保改革那些监视项目，并希望家庭和国家能因他的行动而得到帮助。
 
Fugitive self-proclaimed spy and NSA secrets leaker Edward Snowden says he wants to return home to the United States.
 
In his first interview on U.S. television, Snowden told NBC-TV newsman Brian Williams Wednesday that he sees himself as a patriot, but that until he can return to the U.S. he plans to ask Russia to extend his asylum.
 
He sought to defend himself against charges by the Obama administration that he is a traitor who endangered lives by revealing the extent of an NSA spying program.
 
Asked whether he would make a deal to return, Snowden said he first wants to make "sure that these programs are reformed," and that the family and country he left behind can be helped by his actions.
