Apparently wishing to get the most out of her frequent flying military air service, Minority Leader (Elect) Nancy Pelosi is planning to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm at which Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo will receive his award, presumably in absentia whilst he serves time in a ChiCom jail for whatever freedom it is we take for granted that he exercised.
Good for Leader Pelosi. The ChiComs are trying to influence governments around the world not to send reps to the ceremony, and in fine Chicago mafioso style, they are having some success. Showing the increasingly arrogant Middle Kingdom that they don't get to make the rules is a worthwhile endeavor.

Lots of Chinese in her district. They're probably the only anti-communists there.
But she's still a bitch.
You beat me to it, Hammer. This has nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with making sure she gets reelected in 2012. This last election may even have gotten this freedom fighter (fights freedom at every legislative vote) running scared.
Probably just lobbying to be nominated for next year's prize. After seeing Obama get it last year, she actually has a strong case in that she's done a hell of a lot more (that the Nobelibs would like) than Obama ever did to get his.
Of course she's going. She'll be the belle of the Eurolib ball. Maybe they'll keep her.
Perchance to dream...
