    Birgitta Jónsdóttir is asking the Nobel organization to award the prize to Private Bradley Manning based on the fact that he exposed not only “war crimes” taking place in Iraq, but on his heroic suffering as he remains “incarcerated for well over a year by the U.S. government without a trial.” She goes on to describe his treatment as having been, “criticized as torturous.”

    That sounds just awful. I wonder who is responsible for that torturous. treatment?
    Oh wait… wouldn't it be your 2009 winner ...
    Barack Obama!
    ROFL!!

    Hopefully, Private Bradley Manning receives his Peace prize posthumously.

    Nobel Peace Prize officials were facing a formal inquiry over accusations they have drifted away from the prize's original selection criteria
