WikiLeaks Receives 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Nomination
WikiLeaks has been nominated for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. A Norwegian lawmaker says the website's disclosures of classified documents promote world peace.

WikiLeaks is a website that anonymously publishes documents, such as U.S. war logs from Iraq and Afghanistan. Supporters say it promotes transparency and democracy; critics say it threatens global security.

7. Haha! And if the Nobel committee hasn't lost ALL respect from RWers after awarding
it to Obama, this will do the trick!

This is GREAT news! And good for them! They're not afraid to be controversial. I hope they win.
