Oh great. Now we're all on an NSA watch list.   :P

Edward Snowden nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
The nomination is a response to "hasty and ill-conceived decision" to give Barack Obama the prize in 2009

update:

"In a major vindication for Edward Snowden -- and a blow for the national security policy pursued by Republicans and Democrats alike -- the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled Thursday that the National Security Agency's metadata collection program is unlawful.  This is the most serious blow to date for the legacy of the USA Patriot Act and the surveillance overreach that followed 9/11."

WHEN are we going to officially recognize Snowden as a good guy?
