I am disgusted. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 02:37:45 PM
I think that the Nobel Commitee has lost their minds completely. Iraq and Afghanistan are still going on. Guantanamo Bay is still open. Obama's administration has defended the existence and continuance of third-party CIA camps. He hardly mentions... the ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing going on in Darfur. Obama has done nothing yet to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

Not to mention he backed off from his comments to have Israel stop building anymore illegal settlements in the West Bank, causing further destabilization in the region. Sorry, a few good speeches have not been enough for this. It devalues the award significantly.
