Bloomberg:

President Barack Obama wants to see Edward Snowden clapped in irons and bound to the U.S. for a criminal trial. Two Norwegian politicians have a different fate in mind for Snowden: the Nobel Peace Prize.

Norwegian parliamentarians Snorre Valen and Baard Vegar Solhjell nominated Snowden for the award — the same honor Obama himself won in 2009 — for his disclosures about National Security Agency spying.

I want to be as clear as I possibly can about this: Edward Snowden should absolutely win the Nobel Peace Prize. He is a hero. He should be celebrated as such. Full stop.
