Today on Fox News, Mark Pfeifle, a former Deputy National Security Advisor to George W. Bush, recommended that the founders of Twitter should receive a noble peace prize for their handling of the Iran election protests.

“If there’s anybody that should possibly get a Nobel Peace Prize in the next time around, it should be the founders of Twitter who delayed the tuning up of their system in order for an amazing amount of tweets to be sent out in the last week or so.”

While it certainly is remarkable how social networks have been used in this case to communicate information to the outside world past the borders of the suppression on traditional press in this situation, seriously, a Noble Peace Prize for delaying a system upgrade?
