According to journalists, his alleged actions helped motivate the democratic Arab Spring movements, shed light on secret corporate influence on our foreign policies, and most recently contributed to the Obama Administration agreeing to withdraw all U.S.troops from the occupation in Iraq.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, numbnuts, the withdrawal from Iraq was agreed upon years before Manning released any documents, but, please continue;<\/p>\n
The documents made public by WikiLeaks should never have been kept from public scrutiny. The revelations \u2013 including video documentation of an incident in which American soldiers gunned down Reuters journalists in Iraq \u2013 have helped to fuel a worldwide discussion about America\u2019s overseas engagements, civilian casualties of war, imperialistic manipulations, and rules of engagement. Citizens worldwide owe a great debt to the WikiLeaks whistleblower for shedding light on these issues, and so I urge the Committee to award this prestigious prize to accused whistleblower Bradley Manning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, if he was Icelandic and released the same level of classified documents, your government would be charging him with treason, Birgitta J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, et al. But because it’s about America, it’s whistleblowing. Manning’s treason didn’t spark any discussion about America’s involvement in other countries…that discussion has been an ongoing process since Stalin incarcerated Russia.<\/p>\n
But, yeah, since the Nobel Prize has been turned into a giant punchline over the last several decades, go ahead and give it to the little drama queen for throwing a hissy fit because his boyfriend dumped him. Seems fitting, actually given the recent set of recipients.<\/p>\n
By the way “The Movement” is a political party and consists of three members out of the 63 members Icelandic Parliament, the Althingi, so it’s hardly a “movement” other than the name. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
