    Just think how much more worthy of the Pulitzer the two newspapers might be if the UK and US governments had not stolen back the Snowden / Guardian evidences at Heathrow.

    Good. Recognition of the favour Snowden has done us all.

    This prize is well deserved. This is especially true in the case of the Guardian. I heard the Guardian's Chief Editor say that he wishes that the First Amendment existed in the UK. As it is it had to operate under the repressive regime that exists in that country.

    Intelligence is a sword with two edges...
    God help us all if everything is ever revealed...
    We know the dirty tricks the Americans have played upon us over the past 100 years, from phosphates to copper. Yet we continue to aline ourselves with them as we know that to be in their bad graces is death.
    “Gentlemen do not read other gentlemen's mail...” I'm afraid that many of us have a berth reserved in hell...
