US whistleblower Edward Snowden has warned of dangers to democracy in the first video released of him since Russia granted him temporary asylum. The anti-secrecy group, WikiLeaks says the video was filmed Wednesday when Snowden met with a group of retired US ex-intelligence workers and activists now seeking to promote ethics within the profession. Snowden is wanted in America for espionage and other charges after leaking details of US domestic and global spying programs. The 30-year-old spent over a month stranded at Moscow's airport before being granted asylum in August. Since then his whereabouts have been a mystery. Snowden's lawyer says he's learning Russian and may soon get a job.
