What?  Nobel Committee Politically Motivated?

Response: "Sug min kuk"

"  "The Nobel committee has never given a kick in the leg to anyone," he quotes the Oslo chairman as responding.  “ In its citation of Carter, the Committee made an implied criticism of the Bush administration, stating that Carter's work is especially significant "in a situation currently marked by threats of the use of power." In remarks shortly after the Prize was awarded, Committee Chairman Gunnar Berge made the criticism more pointed, saying that the Prize "should be interpreted as a criticism of the line that the current administration has taken." - [Cavalier Daily, 2002] ”
