Fugitive NSA Leaker Snowden Nominated For Peace Prize

Daniel 12:4 NLT “But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase."

The man who stole classified information from the National Security Agency and then fled the country to avoid prosecution for his actions is now an official nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Two members of the Norwegian government nominated Edward Snowden.

Baard Vegard Solhjell, a former environment minister, and Snorre Valen released publicly their nomination for Snowden.  They claimed that Snowden’s release of the classified NSA actions “has contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order.”

The members of the Nobel panel do not confirm nominees but people who make nominations are permitted to release the information to the public.

The nomination comes a few days after Snowden released new documents showing that the NSA and their British counterparts were doing real time spying on use of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
