Non-governmental organizations should consider nominating Julian Assange for a Nobel Prize, a source in the Russian presidential administration has said.
It would really be nice if people would pay attention to the news they release. wikileaks has not released 250,000 cables, they have released less than 1,000. saying otherwise makes opponents think they are doing this indiscriminately. Thanks to Glenn Greenwald for point this out.
Curious that when the government looks at our e-mails or listens in on conversations, they justify the actions by saying, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." The idea being that only guilty people mind having everything they do scrutinized.
I'd like to know when freedom of information became a crime. Are they going to start putting journalists in jail next when something is printed that they don't like? This is ridiculous. There is nothing that wikileaks has said that is untrue. They have done nothing illegal, just some things that the US doesn't like. What a joke.
Bestowing the Nobel Peace Prize on Julian Assange would be one way the Norwegians can atone for their horrendous mistake of judgement when the blessed Barak Hussein Obama with the award.
Obama has shown himself to be nothing more than a puppet of the Pentagon war generals who want a perpetual state of war to enrich themselves and their contractor pals.
A Nobel Peace Prize will not protect Assange from the vengeful neo-cons calling for his blood, but it will be an award well deserved, unlike the one given to Obama.
