[bemildred]

The 30-year old man who is currently running from the United States authorities after unveiling several spying programs run by the NSA, has received the Whistleblower Award from German human rights organizations.

“This year’s winner of the Whistleblower Award is Edward Snowden,” a statement of Transparency International said.

The award has been given out since 1999 and it’s sponsored by the Association of German Scientists and the German branch of the International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms.

The award also comes with more than just a title, namely €3,000 which should be passed on to Snowden through a lawyer or a friendly organization.

2. Nah. No Snowden on P.1 of GD, until I just fixed that.

And the Snowden hit rate for articles on the news agreggator I use is way down now.

I thnk it has penetrated someones mind up in the higher reaches of our society that all Snowden all the time does not serve their interest, nor does creating more global incidents just in case anybody was inclined to move on and forget him and think maybe it was not too important.
