Personally, I hope that WikiLeaks' nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize is roundly ignored by the committee.
How has the site contributed to lowercase p peace? Does anyone has done any kind of long-term, dedicated study think that the U.S. leaving Iraq or Afghanistan immediately will greatly decrease the violence? Or that Wikileaks releasing confidential banking data is really going to make the world more peaceful? These are questions about man-in-the-street peace, not about capital P "No More War" Peace.
I'm not making a comment about the right or wrong of what Wikileaks does, more about the rationale for giving them a Nobel Peace Prize.
