Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize

Posted by samzenpus on from the and-the-prize-for-best-way-to-quit-your-job-goes-to dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Swedish professor of sociology has nominated Snowden for the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize. Giving him the prize would also 'save the Nobel Peace Prize from the disrepute that incurred by the hasty and ill-conceived decision to award U.S. President Barack Obama' the prize, according to professor Stefan Svallfors. He notes ultimately that at great personal cost, 'Edward Snowden has helped to make the world a little bit better and safer.'"

    Wow. You really don't understand how the Constitution works.
