That is what I learned on DU.
It hurts for those who have broken our laws when Whistle Blowers are honored as Snowden has been over and over again, with the acknowledgement that what he has done for this country, took so much courage.
There will be more awards for him, and hopefully for Chelsea Manning who tragically sits in jail while the War Criminals she exposed, are wined and dined in this country, for now.
Thanks to all the Whistle Blowers, and those to come, and I have no doubt there will be more considering the long line we have seen since the criminal Bush gang began tearing apart our Constitution, for exposing them, time after time. And now finally, the people are getting it.
Pulitzer, under the bus, with Matt Taibbi, Jeremy Scahill, Amy Goodman, Thom Hartmann, Chris Hedges, Glenn Greenwald, even Kos, once a total DLC/Third Wayer, finally waking up like so many others, and the long list of Lefties who once were lauded here, now all under the proverbial bus, where most of us on the Left, now WANT to be.
It's been an education these past few years. A very, very valuable education.
Edward Snowden has been acknowledged in this award. It just cannot be denied that his leaks were invaluable information for the American public, not so for the perps though Bush's old cronies, like Clapper et al.
