A Swedish sociology professor has nominated Eddie Snowden, the fugitive spy formerly employed as a contractor for the NSA, currently waiting tables at Sbarro’s in the Moscow airport, for a Nobel Peace Prize because of his \u201cheroic effort at great personal cost.\u201d Yeah, heroic, that’s what it was.
