BERLIN (AP) — Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden claimed in a new interview that the U.S. agency is involved in industrial espionage.
In the interview aired Sunday night on German public television broadcaster ARD, Snowden said if German engineering company Siemens had information that would benefit the U.S., but had nothing to do with national security needs, the National Security Agency would still use it.
It wasn't clear what exactly Snowden accused the NSA of doing with such information...

It is unclear whether the NSA turns the information over to Israel only, or if they also give it to Goldman Sachs and other Friends Of Obama.
