The nomination of a scoundrel like Julian Assange for the Nobel Peace Prize is not without precedent – in fact, there’s a good chance he could win it. Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, would join the company of Palestinian terrorist-in-chief Yasser Arafat if he were to be awarded the prize.
Assange is, of course, responsible for acquiring and disseminating state secrets, putting the lives of those who are named in the classified documents at risk. Blood will be spilled – if it hasn’t already – over the contents of those cables. In particular, the war documents released, which supposedly expose the indecency of American troops and which name those in war zones that have collaborated with American troops, have already had a detrimental effect on the American war effort.
