Is Wikileaks Nomination For Nobel Peace Price?

Wikileaks quickly became a household name by leaking out government documents and unearthing the videos of Iraq war.

WikiLeaks has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by Snorre Valen, a Norwegian lawmaker. Typically, nominations stay secret for 50 years, but Valen announced his nomination through his online blog.


Valen, a member of Norway’s Socialist Left Party turned in his nomination in person on Tuesday, the last day the committee accepted nominations. If WikiLeaks does receive the prize, the site will be entitled to an award of $1.6 million.


Is it justified? Your opinion, please.
