Ok, so they're not celebrating as much as having a bust of him at the New York art festival, but it does show how public opinion of Snowden has changed as his "whistleblowing" activity has provided positive change in the US National Security and Diplomatic actions.

Here's the starting text from the article: New York (AFP) - A cement bust of America's most-wanted whistleblower Edward Snowden, once famously confiscated by police, returned to public display in New York on Friday to kick off a street art festival.

The 100-pound (45-kilo) likeness stands proud on a plinth in Manhattan's tourist-clogged Little Italy neighborhood, to be guarded round the clock until the weekend Lo Man Art Festival closes.

"If any shenanigans begin they (volunteers) find our security guards and we make sure we keep everyone safe," says comedy manager Wayne Rada, who founded the festival and Little Italy Street Art Project.
