Headliner: Edward Snowden and Daniel Ellsberg
Four decades after Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers, another whistleblower emerged from within the US intelligence community.
Hailed by some as a hero, and called a traitor by others, Edward Snowden's revelations about US mass surveillance transformed the debate over privacy, liberty and security.
In UpFront's Headliner segment, Snowden responds to his critics, including presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
He describes his life in exile and comments on what it would take for him to return to the US.
Mehdi Hasan also asks whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg if the end justifies the means.
