This is the funnest thing I have read today. Edward Snowden has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize By Brian Fung January 29 at 8:50 am Edward Snowden photographed in a hotel room in Moscow, Russia December, 2013. (Photo by Barton Gellman for The Washington Post) (Barton Gellman for The Washington Post) Edward Snowden spent the last year revealing some of the governments most tightly held secrets, kicking off a massive debate about the proper role of Americas intelligence services. Now, a pair of Norwegian politicians have nominated the NSA leaker for a Nobel Peace Prize. In their nomination letter, Baard Vegar Solhjell and Snorre Valen, who hail from the Socialist Left party, said Snowdens revelations contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order. Nominations — which are generally secret but sometimes announced by those submitting the paperwork — must be filed by Feb. 1. Snowden likely has dozens of competitors, so theres no guarantee hell get anywhere. Still, itd be ironic if Snowden and Obama each wound up winning the same honor just a handful of years apart
