Pulitzer Day

Update 3 p.m.  Indeed, The Guardian and Wash Post do win it for NSA/Snowden.  Full list of all winners (and below).     Here's oft-overlooked finalists. Edward Snowden comments. "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."
