It probably isn't all of his words, but so long as he stands behind his name on it, who cares?
The concern would be if wikileaks were completely fabricating this, but I see no evidence for that. (Nor any motivation.)

I doubt they are fabricating it, but honestly they have Snowden in as much of a bind as the U.S. does now. They are his only source of support right now... what does he do if they take it away? He's in a web of very unequal relationships right now.
What are they actually providing him with right now? Money for food I guess?
Airfare to his next destination and lodging costs as well. One of the articles said that they even paid for his trip out of Hong Kong so I'm not sure how much cash he has on him.

This assumes he has other channels of communication. He probably stands behind it insofar as its consistent with everything I've heard from him so far, but neither of us has any way of knowing for the time being.
Does that sound like the same person talking about civil liberties and how Obama didn't change enough for him, and being ready to stand up for what he believes in? Or does that sound more like a certain other ego at opposition to the U.S. government and especially its President?
