WIKILEAKS BRADLEY MANNING TO JOIN THE NOBELISTAS?….

Madness: Bradley Manning, the Army private who allegedly leaked sensitive U.S. government information, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. If the award hadn’t already become a joke, we’d be offended.

It really doesn’t take much to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize these days. Bradley, who is currently in the brig and on trial for multiple counts of disclosing top-secret military files and State Department cables, is one of 231 nominees for the 2012 prize.

Also on this year’s list is Bill Clinton, confirming once again that promoting peace is less a qualification for the prize than being popular on the political left and objectionable to the political right. It certainly hasn’t taken much more to win the prize in recent years.

In this era of unseriousness, laureates have included the terrorist Yasser Arafat, the bungling Jimmy Carter, the useless Al Gore, the fraudulent Rigoberta Menchu and that darling of the political elite, Barack Obama, who had barely settled into the Oval Office when they fitted him for a wreath.   READ IT ALL AT SITE
