Russia has suggested that Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks should be awarded the Nobel peace prize. This changed expression comes as a surprise after Russian President Demitry Medvedev's spokesman slammed WikiLeaks releases by saying, "not worthy of comment" earlier. The latest comment from Russia came after the release of the cable which described Russia as a "mafia state".
Russia urged non-governmental organizations to nominate Julian Assange as a Nobel Prize laureate for the release of United States diplomatic cables. "Public and non-governmental organizations should think of how to help him. Maybe, nominate him as a Nobel Prize laureate," the source from inside president Dmitry Medvedev's office told Russian media.
In one cable US diplomat said that "Criminal elements enjoy a krysha (protection racket) that runs through the police, the federal security service, ministry of internal affairs and the prosecutor's office, as well as throughout the Moscow city government bureaucracy."
In another cable from Feb 2010, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said "Russian democracy has disappeared".
This all is getting nastier by politics getting involved from all over. I don't know if Julian Assange could actually get Nobel Peace Prize or even gets nominated for it. Nobel Prize are looked after by the US afterall(?) Oops sorry, I said nothing, I said nothing.
Well, while this is being written, it is decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
