Congratulations Steve
Congrats and kudos to Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists for being named the winner of a 2010 Pioneer Award given by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
“The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is pleased to announce four winners of its 2010 Pioneer Awards: transparency activist Steven Aftergood; public domain scholar James Boyle; legal blogger Pamela Jones and the website Groklaw; and e-voting researcher Hari Krishna Prasad Vemuru, who was recently released on bail after being imprisoned for his security work in India,” reads the announcement at EFF here.
“Secrecy News … provides direct public access to various official records that have been suppressed, withdrawn, or that are simply hard to find,” EFF adds indisputably.
In one capacity or another, DD has relied on Aftergood for advice, help and careful reflection for at least fifteen years. Never parsimonious with his time, Steve always delivers … um … the goods.
Congratulations!
