The latest leaked documents by
National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden show the extent
the NSA has been involved with CIA counterterrorism activities,
specifically drone strikes. In the past, the drone-strike program was
presented as an exclusive initiative of the CIA, but the Snowden
documents show that the program depends heavily on the NSA's ability to
collect information from e-mails, phone calls and a myriad of other
sources. In the meantime, Snowden's father Lon was able to visit the
former government contractor in Russia this week, and arrived back in
the US on Wednesday. RT's Ameera David has the NSA's response to the
leaks about their involvement in drone warfare, as well as the advice
Lon Snowden gave his son.
