Guardian Editor Faces MPs Over Snowden Leaks

Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger faces MPs over his decision to publish top-secret documents leaked by Edward Snowden.

The 59-year-old, who has been editor at the newspaper since 1995, told the Home Affairs Committee it had only published 1% of the information contained in the documents obtained from the former NSA contractor, but did not reveal where the files are.

He said it was "impossible to assess" whether publishing the whistleblower's leaked files had damaged UK national security and denied control of the data had been "lost" after it was sent by Fed Ex to The New York Times.

Mr Rusbridger and The Guardian newspaper have faced criticism over the publication, with the heads of GCHQ, MI5 and MI6 claiming it aided terrorists.

Others have claimed the move may have been illegal.

The revelations were disclosed to The Guardian, The Washington Post and Germany's Der Spiegel.

Mr Rusbridger will be followed by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and Cressida Dick, Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
