WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize
mvar writes "Whistle-blower site WikiLeaks has been nominated for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize by a Norwegian politician who cited its role in freedom of speech, news agency NTB reported Wednesday. 'WikiLeaks is one of this century's most important contributors to freedom of speech and transparency,' parliamentarian Snorre Valen said in his nomination. Valen cited WikiLeaks' role in disclosing the assets of Tunisia's former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and his nearest family, contributing to the protests that forced them into exile."
If Wikileaks has been nominated, does that mean the actual prize going to be won by Mark Zuckerberg?

Can I have his IPv4 address?
For instance, should Truman have got one for Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
It would certainly be in the spirit of Nobel's personal contribution to world peace - better living through high explosives.
