IMO Binney (and possibly all 3) deserve the next Nobel Peace Prize.

Actually, today I learned Thomas Drake essentially got screwed out of his federal pension from his whistleblowing, and currently works in an Apple retail store in the DC suburbs. He has 4 sons who are approaching college age. Both Binney and Wiebe are retired (and presumably got their full pensions).

So, the ideal thing would be some kind of prize or other financial reward (or higher paying job) for Drake, or scholarships for his children.

The Nobel Peace Price includes 8 million SEK (ca. $1.2 million).
Give them Obama's
You have to figure they are shoe-ins for EFF Pioneer awards.
