He probably did; but at this point you have to assume that any media you receive on the topic of Edward Snowden is a calculated ploy for someone's agenda. Whether it's Wikileaks trying to embarrass the US .gov or the Intelligence Community trying to discredit Snowden and by extension all whistleblowers. Anything you read about Snowden has been pushed or spun by by someone. The man himself may be miserable, or comfortable; we have no idea and I'd guess he likes his privacy. But the persona of Edward Snowden that is reenacted on blogs, television, etc.; that is a complete fabrication that is always already a lie in some direction or another.
