A National Security Agency official said in an interview released Friday that he would be open to cutting an amnesty deal with intelligence leaker Edward Snowden if he agreed to stop divulging secret documents.
Rick Ledgett, who heads the NSAs task force investigating the damage from the Snowden leaks, told CBS televisions 60 Minutes program that some but not all of his colleagues share his view.
My personal view is, yes, its worth having a conversation about a possible deal, said Ledgett, according to excerpts of the interview due to air Sunday.
But Snowden would have to provide firm assurances that the remaining documents would be secured.
