I'd hoped he would be awarded Nobel Peace Prize, or some other high profile award that would have effectively made him immune to the 'powers that be' (hey, who wants to be the one caught whacking a Nobel Peace Prize winner behind bars), but it was not to be.
They chose ANOTHER organisation, rather than a person, to receive the prize ... one which of all things was lauded for getting rid of chemical weapons - the Committee's naivete in the face of evidence to the contrary is sometimes stunning - but then again, these are the sods who awarded one to Obama in 2009 for doing precisely nothing (and since then, he has no doubt disappointed them rather badly). Anyway, unless and until Snowden receives accolades and appropriation from either bodies the US cares about or major states that they see as allies, the safest place for young Edward is probably where he is. Just my 2 cents worth ... --- On 2 Jan 2014, at 2:30 pm, Fernando Cassia <[email protected]> wrote: > Great, well researched editorial with lots of links > http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/02/opinion/edward-snowden-whistle-blower.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0 > > FC > -- > During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary > act > Durante épocas de Engaño Universal, decir la verdad se convierte en un Acto > Revolucionario > - George Orwell > _______________________________________________ > Link mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
