The thought that one Nobel Peace Prize winner tortured another is simply delicious


http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/231-nominations-for-2012-nobel-peace-prize-including-manning-tymoshenko/2012/02/27/gIQApgeZdR_story.html


OSLO, Norway — The Nobel Peace Prize jury has received 231 nominations for this year’s award, a spokesman said, with publicly disclosed candidates including a former Ukrainian prime minister and the U.S. soldier accused of leaking classified material to WikiLeaks.

The secretive committee doesn’t reveal who has been nominated, but those with nomination rights sometimes announce their picks.


Names put forward this year include Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private charged with the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history, Russian human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina and former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

If they don;t the comparisons to Manning and Aung San Suu will be rampant

The award is the result of liberal guilt

I might think that the Nobel org might have a tiny shred of credibility if they started revoking their precious prize from people who clearly make a mockery of everything that their so called prize is supposed to be about.
