International News Title: ‘Heroic effort at great personal cost’: Edward Snowden nominated for Nobel Peace Prize A Swedish sociology professor has nominated Edward Snowden for the Nobel Peace Prize. He says the NSA whistleblower could help save the prize from the disrepute incurred by the hasty and ill-conceived decision to give the 2009 award to Barack Obama. In his letter addressed to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Stefan Svallfors praised Snowden for his heroic effort at great personal cost. He stated that by revealing the existence and the scale of the US surveillance programs, Snowden showed individuals can stand up for fundamental rights and freedoms.

The head of the International Committee of the Russian State Duma Aleksey Pushkov has also argued that the US wont let Nobel Peace Prize go to Snowden. As a sociology professor at Umeå University, which has recently top-ranked among the worlds best young universities, Svallfors is included in the limited circuit of people who can deliver nominations to the Nobel committee. These include members of international courts and national assemblies; university rectors; professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes. The Nobel Peace prize however, is corrupt. Overseen by Norwegian and Swedish establishments, it has become an instrument of foreign policy. WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) July 15, 2013 Last year Bradley Manning, the US soldier accused of passing secret materials to WikiLeaks, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination was proposed by the Movement of Icelandic Parliament, which asserted that revelations produced by the documents Manning allegedly exposed have helped to fuel a worldwide discussion about Americas overseas engagements, civilian war casualties, imperialistic manipulations, and rules of engagement.

Shoot the fucking traitor bitch!!!!!!
What did he do that makes you think he's a traitor? Not challenging you, just curious. Because you have to know that he didn't tell those other countries anything that they didn't already know.
Disclosed confidential government information to our enemies. You loose the moral high ground when you take up with the Chinese and the Russian. He signed an agreement not to disclose this information and yet he did for his personal gratification. I'd shoot the traitor prick but we could also bury the douche in the Supermax and let him rot for the rest of his life. Bradley manning needs a bud to hang out with for eternity.
I'm glad he did what he did. And as far as I know, he hasn't told any national secrets. Every nation with computers knows that we're hacking them. Just like we know they're hacking us. Or... trying to.
For embarrassing your hero, NWO global tyrant George W. ObamaMitt-Xlinton? I hope the DNC runs Weiner/Spitzer 2016.
as much my hero as yukon is yours.
