Snowden nominated for Nobel Peace Prize!
Edward Snowden spent the last year revealing some of the government's most tightly held secrets, kicking off a massive debate about the proper role of America's 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 Snowden's revelations "contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order."
Meanwhile, a group of Congressmen headed by (who else?) Darrell Issa are pushing for Obama to
fire Clapper:
The lawmakers called Director Clapper's position "incompatible" with the administration's effort to restore trust in the NSA, according to a letter sent to the White House. The group is mostly Republican, but includes one Democrat, Rep. Alan Grayson (FL). "Director Clapper continues to hold his position despite lying to Congress under oath about the existence of bulk data collection programs in March 2013," the letter reads.
