Snowden says he will release more information in the future so that will give better insight about his intentions.
I can understand how Snowden believes that PRISM is wrong and unconstitutional, however, I am confused why he is releasing evidence that the US spies on its European allies. This is not illegal or unconstitutional and won't do much besides deteriorate our relationship with them. Also, countries spying on each other is pretty common practice (not that this necessarily justifies it). We have had a lot of issues with the French and Israelis.
