Snowden documents could be 'worst nightmare' for US

斯诺登手中文件或成美国“最可怕的噩梦”

BUENOS AIRES, July 13 (Reuters) - Fugitive former U.S. spy contractor Edward Snowden controls dangerous information that could become the United States' "worst nightmare" if revealed, a journalist familiar with the data said in a newspaper interview.

路透社布宜诺斯艾利斯7月13日 - 一位熟悉内情的记者在接受采访时称，美国国家安全局承包商前雇员爱德华·斯诺登掌握的危险信息若被披露，将会成为美国“最可怕的噩梦”。

Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist who first published the documents Snowden leaked, said in a newspaper interview published on Saturday that the U.S. government should be careful in its pursuit of the former computer analyst.

格林沃尔德是首个公布斯诺登曝光文件的记者。他在接受一家报纸采访时称，美国政府在追捕前电脑分析员斯诺登一事上应当谨慎行事。上述采访内容是在周六发布的。

"Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute than any other person has ever had," Greenwald said in an interview in Rio de Janeiro with the Argentinian daily La Nacion.

“斯诺登掌握有足够信息，可立刻对美国政府造成伤害，他比其他任何人掌握的信息都多，”他在接受阿根廷《民族报》(La Nacion)采访中说道。

"The U.S. government should be on its knees every day begging that nothing happen to Snowden, because if something does happen to him, all the information will be revealed and it could be its worst nightmare."

“美国政府应当祈求斯诺登一切安好，因为他若遭遇不测，所有信息都将会被披露，那将会成为美国最可怕的噩梦。”

Snowden, who is sought by Washington on espionage charges after revealing details of secret surveillance programs, has been stranded at a Moscow airport since June 23 and is now seeking refuge in Russia until he can secure safe passage to Latin America, where several counties have offered him asylum.

斯诺登曝光美国秘密监控项目后被美国政府指控犯有间谍罪，他自6月23日以来一直滞留在莫斯科一机场，目前正在寻求获得俄罗斯庇护，直到他能找到前往拉美的安全通道。拉美多个国家已决定向他提供庇护。

Greenwald told Reuters on Tuesday that Snowden would likely accept asylum in Venezuela, one of three Latin American countries that have made that offer.

格林沃尔德之前曾对路透表示，斯诺登很可能接受委内瑞拉的庇护邀请。委是三个愿意提供庇护的拉丁美洲国家之一。

Washington has urged nations not to give Snowden safe passage.

华盛顿(美国政府)已经敦促其他国家不要向斯诺登提供安全通道。
