Nobel committee back on track?

After last years winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace turned out to be a bad pick, the committee went back to picking guys in prison. Liu Xiaobo (currently in a Chinese prison) "The campaign to establish universal human rights in China is being waged by many Chinese, both in China itself and abroad." according to the committee.

The Chinese government have a slightly different view of the Mr. Xiaobo,
"Liu Xiaobo is a criminal who violated Chinese law. It's a complete violation of the principles of the prize and an insult to the peace prize itself for the Nobel committee to award the prize to such a person." (BBC)

Maybe Sec. of State Clinton can work and exchange were we get this years Peace Prize winner and China gets last years winner. Maybe they already do.
