Iceland's politicians move to make whistleblower a citizen

Icelandic MPs have introduced a proposal in parliament to grant immediate citizenship to US National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, who revealed key details of American surveillance activities.

Ogmundur Jonasson, whose liberal Left-Green Party is backing the proposal along with the Pirate Party and Brighter Future Party, put the issue before the Judicial Affairs Committee, but the idea received minimal support.
