| Edward Snowden among Nobel Peace Prize candidate |
| 2016-02-02 |
| [Iran Press TV] US whistle-blower and former spy agency contractor Edward Snowden is among the top candidates for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize which is awarded in Oslo, Norway. "2016 may finally be Edward Snowden's year ... His leaks are now having a positive effect," Kristian Berg Harpviken, head of the Peace Research Institute in Oslo told Rooters, putting him on top of his list of candidates. In the wake of Snowden's leaks of details of the US government's spy programs, many countries have been reforming laws to restrict surveillance programs, helping human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... , Harpviken said. |

| #3 I think that it is a ploy to smoke Snowden out. "Here is your check and are your handcuffs." |

| #2 Well, Obama and Yassir Arafat got one. So perhaps with a high bar standard like that..... The Nobel has in the past missed Mengele ( advancement of Medicine )and Idi Amin ( brotherhood of man ), of course, but then they can't reward all the fine examples like Obama and Snowden who are out there. Perhaps next year. |
