Head of IAEO. You'd think there'd never been an Iraq War buildup, to hear you guys.

Worst pick...since the last one. Haven't they thought about giving it to real peacemakers (Sharon and Abbas maybe).

How many guards did he have to "secure" it?

It's official: I don't want the Nobel Peace Prize even if I were offered it. El Baradei is far from the worst of the winners: He joins the pretigious company of Yassir Arafat, Rigoberta Menchu, and (almost) Le Duc Tho. Geez...

Just more proof of what a joke this prize has become.  The least they could have done was given it to someone who has acctually helped the cause of peace in the world, like Bono.

I doubt he has, actually.

One of the reasons the prize is given for, according to Nobel's testament, is "reduction of standing armies", which the committee has long reinterpreted as disarmament of any type.
