I know, I know its from Russia Today, but if this turns out to be 100% true I think this could be a good thing. 

Bradley Manning, the US soldier accused of passing secret materials to Wikileaks, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
­The nomination was proposed by The Movement of Icelandic Parliament, which asserts that revelations produced by the documents Manning allegedly exposed “have helped to fuel a worldwide discussion about America’s overseas engagements, civilian war casualties, imperialistic manipulations, and rules of engagement.”
RT spoke to one of the members of The Movement, MP Birgitta Jonsdottir.
She said the group “wanted to raise awareness about the situation with Private Bradley Manning, whom way too few people know of.”
“It is extremely important that we honor the whistleblowers of our world,” she said, so people will not be silenced from performing their civic duty “by reporting on crimes, be it corporate, state or military.”
Jonsdottir believes Manning has as much chance to win the prize as any other nominee.
But, Icelandic MP said, the decision on a Nobel Peace Prize is a very politicized matter, “because peace – just like war – is a very political issue.”
