Regardless of what you thought of their last decision, the Nobel Peace Prize judges got this one precisely right.

Thorn in China's side Liu Xiaobo awarded Nobel Peace Prize

\"Fan Yafeng, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, has said: \"Liu is a great example of a Chinese intellectual whose imprisonment, his purgatory, has given him added strength and underlined his status.

Our intellectuals have had our backbones bent, but Liu pulls us upright again.\"

Look up Charter 08 or read it for yourself for more info on this man's work.

Spread the word if you agree.

I lost all respect for the Nobel peace prize when Obama won one for doing nothing. But this seems like a well deserved one.
