Quotation of the Day for April 18, 2014
"Today's decision is a vindication for everyone who believes that the public has a role in government. We owe it to the efforts of the brave reporters and their colleagues who kept working in the face of extraordinary intimidation, including the forced destruction of journalistic materials, the inappropriate use of terrorism laws, and so many other means of pressure to get them to stop what the world now recognises was work of vital public importance."
- Edward Snowden, on The Guardian and the Washington Post being awarded the Pulitzer prize for public service for their coverage of the National Security Agency's surveillance activities, based on Snowden's leaks.
