Barrack Obama and some other hard core Americans will not be happy now. reason is that one of America's most wanted persons, Edward Snowden has been nominated for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize.
The question largely still remains whether Edward kis a hero or a traitor. It depends on whose side you are on. Sure, Angela Merkel , the German Chancellorand most Germans will be excited since among the secrets revealed by Snwoden was that the American-government backed NSA surveillance programme involved the hacking of the phone of the German Chancellor.
The former National
Security Agency contractor-turned-document leaker is one of 259 people to
be nominated for this year's prize. Snowden was also nominated last year by a Swedish professor, but lost out
to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
The
Peace prize is the only Nobel prize to be awarded by Norwegians. The other
Nobel prizes are administered by various Swedish bodies, making the two
Scandanavian countries arguably the most influential when it comes to picking
winners. Snowden is wanted on felony charges in the US, however, so it's highly
unlikely that the prize will go to him.
What's your take on this????
Barrack Obama and his men will be scratching their heads now.
