It's the Guardian, so this isn't very surprising or conclusive A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 10/12/2013 02:15:56 AM

Still nice to see, though, and hopefully other publications and awards will follow suit.

But to be clear, I only care about this to the extent that greater and more positive exposure for Snowden will mean more exposure for NSA overreach. That is the issue here, not Snowden himself.

Better to be free in Russia than rot in some American prison kHz1000 - 09/12/2013 09:10:20 PM 635 Views

In this context American opinion is the important one, since it is US policy under discussion Isaac - 09/12/2013 11:41:07 PM 710 Views
