    The government of Norway is fighting to prevent presentation of a freedom of speech award. Talk about winning a battle instead of the war.

        The (current) government does not speak on behalf of its people in this matter, just so you know.

        Point being: elected politicians can act against the will of their people. It happens quite often. @snowden

        The Norwegian government is also very busy pushing for total surveillance of their people. In the name of national security.
