This is a follow-up to Silkie Carlo’s initial article of Sept. 2013 (see link below “In the Wistleblower Chalet”) describing us whistleblowers at OHM2013 near Amsterdam wondering how and when they might get to Moscow to present the Sam Adams Award for Integrity to Edward Snowden.
What happened was remarkable: the 3,000 participants at OHM2013 passed the hat and collected enough to “crowdsource” our travel; WikiLeaks journalist Sarah Harrison worked out the arrangements in Russia; and, Voila!, there we were, presenting the award and having a long, relaxed conversation with Ed Snowden.
