Pretty much this.

I understand their sentiment, but with Assange's rape trials going on, I can't help this is in very bad taste first of all.

[fishnet_hamster]

Yeeeeah. I had similar thoughts.

[bludstone]

There is no rape trial going on. The case was dismissed ages ago. It was brought back into the light for political reasons.

Wikileaks can, and does, operate independently of Assange.

I am happy to learn of this. I kind of doubt they'll actually get it, but at least they've been nominated for it, after everything they've done to increase government accountability.

[nope_de_plume]

So...they nominated the site, and not the rapist, right?

[postitnotes]

Definitely seems like that, especially with the references to places like YouTube & Twitter anyway. Not to mention the internet control thoughts going on.

[simona_zetsubou]

Technically nothing has been proven in a court of law, so the allegations are still allegations.

But yes, Wikileaks itself was nominated, not Assange.

[bludstone]

Actually, they were tossed OUT of court. The allegations have already been deemed spurious.

Well at least Time Magazine doesn't decide the Nobel Prize nominees.
