"We have not made any nuclear bombs and we do not have that technology"

Ms. Ebadi needs to stick to what she knows and keep silent on things she doesn't.
Nuclear technology and weapons and Iran's nuclear abilities are obviously Not subjects with which she's well informed .

When the Pope was rejected for the Nobel Prize, I at first thought that Ebadi receiving it, at this critical time in Iranian history, may actually be a means to an end.

Then she attacks the US and treatment of prisoners at Gitmo, now she is a nuclear science expert.

She is a lawyer and a former judge, and an activist. Now, I ask you, in terms of American conservative thought, doesn't she appear to be a liberal, all bark and no bite?

She could get on her soapbox and plead for the world to pay attention to human rights abuses in Iran... but instead, she wants to give political commentary that only adds to the noise, and doesn't bring about any positive change.

In the end, she may only be remembered as an Iranian, Muslim, woman who has achieved prominence on the world stage where she can comment on events from afar without getting the ear of any forces that can stimulate change in Iran... NOT as an impetus for change, freedom and democracy. That is a huge disappointment.
