And the Nobel Peace Prize Goes to�� Edward Snowden! President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for "��his extraordinary efforts to strengthen diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,"�� according to the Nobel Foundation. He had been in office less than half a year when he won and was commanding American troops in two wars. Now Obama could get some unwelcome company. Two Norwegian politicians have nominated NSA leaker Edward Snowden for that same prize. Bard Vegar Solhjell and Snorre Valen of Norway'��s Socialist Left Party announced Wednesday that they had nominated Snowden for the award. They praised his leaks for raising the curtain on modern surveillance techniques. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/nobel-peace-prize-goes-edward-203700752.html Wouldn't that stick in his craw!

he did what he thought was right... thats all i really see... :thumbsup I can't judge that.the committee has just nominated.that means he did something I don't think people can tolerate if they are asked to say their entire matter even for a single second.Unfortunately, they r trapped from years & can't talk about countries,everyone can easily understand how the public will feel that sound,if you belong to one of these country.

What Snowden did was wrong. Fight fire with fire I say. How else do we keep an eye on terrorists. They can spy on me all they like, I have nothing to hide.

Is that why they nominated Barry,and eventually gave it to him? What did he do to deserve it,counting ACORNs?

They can spy on me all they like, I have nothing to hide. i have nothing to hide either, but that doesn't mean they need to go at it unchecked... "terrorist" is a broad term, just saying anything bad about the government can technically make you a terrorist now... I'm not happy about snowden did, and bradly should be hung, but i respect snowden for the way he acted when he saw something wrong...
