सच तो यह है कि हम अपनी नागरिक स्वतंत्रताओं की कुर्बानी दिए बिना आतंकवाद के खिलाफ और दुनिया भर के आतंकवादी समूहों के खिलाफ पूरी ताकत से लड़ सकते हैं। ये दोनों बातें एक-दूसरे की विरोधी नहीं हैं।

The truth of the matter is, we can certainly fight against terrorism and fight terrorist groups around the world without having to give up our own civil liberties. They're not mutually exclusive.

भले ही अत्याचार या टॉर्चर काम करता हो, लेकिन इसे बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जा सकता - चाहे वह एक मामला हो, एक लाख या दस लाख। यदि किसी घिनौने कृत्य की प्रभावशीलता ही उसके सही होने का पैमाना बन जाए, तो हर तरह के अनकहे और भयानक अपराध स्वीकार्य लगने लगेंगे। हो सकता है कि अत्याचार के इस मुद्दे पर मैं सरकार के खिलाफ खड़ा नजर आया हूँ, लेकिन मैं इतिहास की सही साइड पर हूँ। कुछ ऐसी चीजें हैं जो हमें कभी नहीं करनी चाहिए, राष्ट्र सुरक्षा के नाम पर भी नहीं। उनमें से एक अत्याचार है, जिसका मैं अब दृढ़ता से मानता हूँ।

Even if torture works, it cannot be tolerated -- not in one case or a thousand or a million. If their efficacy becomes the measure of abhorrent acts, all sorts of unspeakable crimes somehow become acceptable. I may have found myself on the wrong side of government on torture. But I'm on the right side of history. There are things we should not do, even in the name of national security. One of them, I now firmly believe, is torture.

बड़ी समस्या हमारे संवैधानिक अधिकारों, हमारे सबसे महत्वपूर्ण संवैधानिक अधिकारों - जिनमें अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता भी शामिल है - का धीरे-धीरे और लगातार कम होना है। यह एक ऐसा मुद्दा है जिस पर हमें कड़ा रुख अपनाना होगा, और हर कदम पर इसका मुकाबला करना होगा।

The big issue is this incremental whittling away of our constitutional rights, our most important constitutional rights, including freedom of speech. This is something that we really have to put our foot down on, and we have to fight it at every step of the way.

सीआईए (CIA) जासूसों की भर्ती करके गुप्त बातें चुराने के लिए बनाई गई एक संस्था से बदलकर एक अर्ध-सैनिक संगठन (पैरामिलिट्री फोर्स) बन गई है। इसे अर्ध-सैनिक बल नहीं होना चाहिए। यह इस काम में अच्छी भी नहीं है। इसे अपनी जड़ों की ओर वापस लौटने की जरूरत है।

The CIA has transformed from an organization created to recruit spies to steal secrets, into a paramilitary organization, a paramilitary force. It's not supposed to be a paramilitary force. It's not good at it. It needs to return to its roots.

आप रूसी विदेश मंत्री और रूसी राजदूत के सामने यूँ ही सीधे-सीधे जानकारी नहीं उगल सकते। होता यह है कि वह जानकारी वापस सीआईए (CIA) के पास, यानी जहाँ से वह चली थी, पहुँच जाती है। सीआईए उस रिपोर्ट से काम की बात निकालेगी, उसे एक नए कोरे कागज़ पर लिखेगी और सबसे ऊपर टाइप कर देगी: "रूस को देने योग्य गोपनीय जानकारी।" इस तरह किसी पर कोई मुसीबत नहीं आती, कोई सूत्र या तरीका बेनकाब नहीं होता, सब खुश रहते हैं, और हम रूसियों के साथ एक तरह का संपर्क संबंध स्थापित कर सकते हैं। राष्ट्रपति ने ऐसा बिल्कुल नहीं किया।

You can't just blurt the information out to the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador. What happens is, the information goes back to the CIA, to the originating office. The CIA will pull the relevant information out of the report, put it on a new blank sheet of paper and then type at the top, "Secret releasable to Russia." That way, nobody gets in trouble, no sources and methods are revealed, everybody's happy, and we can establish something of a liaison relationship to the Russians. That's not what the president did.

अगर सीआईए को भविष्य के आतंकवादी हमलों को रोकना है, तो उसे उन समूहों में घुसपैठ करने के लिए जासूसों को भर्ती करना होगा, न कि इस बात पर निर्भर रहना चाहिए कि आप और मैं गूगल (Google) या एप्पल (Apple) के चैट संदेशों में क्या लिख रहे हैं।

If the CIA is going to disrupt future terrorist attacks, it needs to recruit spies to infiltrate those groups in order to disrupt the terrorist attacks. Not to rely on what you and I are putting in chat messages on Google or Apple.

मुझे लगता है कि राष्ट्रपति ने बहुत ही सीधे शब्दों में कहें तो, कभी संविधान की एक प्रति भी नहीं पढ़ी है। मुझे लगता है कि यह सच है। उन्होंने कभी संविधान को पढ़ने की जहमत ही नहीं उठाई, और उन्हें प्रथम संशोधन (First Amendment) द्वारा दी गई अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता की सुरक्षा की न तो कोई समझ है और न ही उसकी कोई कद्र।

I think the president, very simply, has never read a copy of the Constitution. I think that that's true. He's just never bothered to read the Constitution, and he just has no understanding and appreciation of the First Amendment's protections for freedom of speech.

मुझे बमुश्किल ऐसी कुछेक ही बातें याद हैं जब मैंने अपने माता-पिता के साथ राजनीति पर बात की हो। मुझे याद है कि जब मैं छह साल का था, तब मेरे माता-पिता ने मुझसे कहा था कि डैनियल एल्सबर्ग एक हीरो हैं।

I can remember only a small handful of instances in which I talked about politics with my parents. I remember my parents telling me that Daniel Ellsberg was a hero when I was six years old.

यह आज के दौर की तरह बिल्कुल भी रोमांचक नहीं है जहाँ आपको बस www.cia.gov पर जाना होता है और "अप्लाई नाउ" (Apply Now) पर क्लिक करना होता है। मेरे समय में यह बहुत ज़्यादा खूफिया और गुप्त हुआ करता था।

It's much less romantic in that you have to go to www.cia.gov and click "Apply Now." For me it was much more clandestine.

यह गूगल या एप्पल का काम नहीं है कि वे देश को बचाने के लिए हमारी निजी बातचीत उन्हें सौंप दें। यह सीआईए और एफबीआई (FBI) का काम है कि वे विदेशी - मेरा मतलब है कि मानवीय स्रोतों को भर्ती करें ताकि इन समूहों में पैठ बनाई जा सके।

It's not up to Google, it's not up to Apple to turn over our personal communications in order to save the country. It's up to the CIA and it's up to the FBI to recruit foreign - I mean to recruit human sources, rather, to penetrate these groups.

मैंने कभी सीआईए के लिए काम करने के बारे में सोचा भी नहीं था, लेकिन ग्रेजुएशन का वक्त आ गया था; ग्रेजुएशन के बमुश्किल एक-दो हफ्ते बाद ही मेरी शादी होने वाली थी; मेरे पास कोई नौकरी नहीं थी, नौकरी मिलने की कोई उम्मीद भी नहीं थी। इसलिए मैंने कहा ठीक है, मैं सीआईए में काम करने में दिलचस्पी रखता हूँ।

I had never really given any thought to working for the CIA, but graduation was upon me; I was getting married just a week or two after graduation; I had no job, no prospects for a job. And so I said sure, I'd be interested in working for the CIA.

मैंने व्हाइट हाउस के किसी भी कर्मचारी से कभी यह कहते नहीं सुना कि राष्ट्रपति कानून तोड़ने के मामले में इतने नासमझ या कम जानकारी वाले हैं कि उन्हें कुछ पता ही नहीं था। और असल बात यही है। सच तो यह है कि उन्होंने बेहद गोपनीय जानकारी लीक की है, जो उन्हें नहीं करनी चाहिए थी। यह कहना एक अलग बात है कि, "अरे भाई, मैं राष्ट्रपति हूँ। इसके लिए कोई मुझे सजा नहीं दे सकता।" और इस बात से साफ मुकर जाना कि उन्होंने ऐसा किया ही नहीं, बिल्कुल अलग बात है। हम जानते हैं कि उन्होंने यह किया है। और उन्हें सचमुच इसकी जिम्मेदारी लेनी चाहिए।

I've never heard a White House staff say that the president was too stupid or too ill-informed to have broken the law. And that's really what it comes down to. The truth is, he leaked highly classified information that he shouldn't have leaked. It's one thing to say, "Hey, I'm the president. Nobody can punish me for that." It's another thing entirely to just deny that he did it. We know that he did it. And he really ought to own up to it.

11 सितंबर के हमलों के तुरंत बाद, मैंने सीआईए को अपनी सेवाएं देने की पेशकश की थी कि वे अफगानिस्तान में जिस भी रूप में मेरा उपयोग करना चाहें, मैं तैयार हूँ। मुझे विदेश जाने में चार महीने लग गए, सिर्फ इसलिए कि हमलों के तुरंत बाद के उन शुरुआती दिनों में मेरी विशेषज्ञता उस तरह की नहीं थी जिसकी उस समय सबसे ज्यादा जरूरत हो।

Immediately after the September 11th attacks, I volunteered to go to Afghanistan in any capacity that the CIA wanted me. Four months passed before I was able to go overseas, just because my skill set was not one that was important in those really early days after the attacks.
