She's just saying that because here buddies, the ayatollahs, want to move in on Iraq the second we're gone!

I don't know how to produce a live link ... but it sure is a switch from earlier stories. Maybe her friends at Harvard and other American universities have gotten to her. But here's the URL:

ANyone who would accept a nobel prize is not anyone we need to be listening to - and a foreigner, no less! And a moslem into the bargain! And a woman! This just gets better and better.

Arafat has a Nobel Peace Prize. Need I say more?

[edhammond]

Well, hell....who doesn't condemn it? It's not torture, but it sure as heck isn't what we train our soldiers to do, and it sure isn't in keeping with what we believe. We're better than they are---that's why we're America, for God's sake!

Wow!

Who wudda thunk?

Or in my best "Nobel" speech ... Why that is simply amazing. Who would have remotely considered that happening?

Dear Shirin,

How 'bout a nice cup of "Shut the **** Up"?

sincerely,

The cycle of the bogus "torture" story is almost complete.

Soon even Al Franken and his wife Michael Moore won't be able to keep a straight face when they lie about it.

[Spok]

I quit reading after "Nobel Winner..."

[Red Badger]

I wonder what she thought of the Daniel Pearl Decapitation Video?............Just some guys having too much fun?..........

I thought the article was going to be by Jimmy Carter!

Read in Sunday's Parade (May 9, 2004) Intelligence Report by Lyric Wallwork Winik entitled Afghani Women Still Struggle

Yes, life is better for many women in Afghanistan without the abuses of the Taliban. But they still face grievous threats. Human Rights Watch says soldiers and police frequently attack women. In some areas, women are afraid to leave their homes to do more than gather water because of widespread kidnapping and robbery. Armed bandits will rob a man driving a pregnant woman to the hospital. "They may be robbed even with the woman in labor--the gunmen are that uneducated," says residents of Paghman, outside Kabul. (Even without bandits, one in six Afghani women dies in childbirth, says UNICEF. Infant-mortality rates also are among the world's worst.) Human Rights Watch reports that women worry about the future and fear that the protections of their rights could worsen, since many of the warlords who ruled under the Taliban have returned to power.

Considering that she was honored by a questionable award for her advocacy of human rights and democracy in her homeland, Ebadi should concentrate her efforts to speak out for Afghani women instead of murderous islamics who would rather stick a knife or shoot a coalition member if given a chance.

If this lady was a true advocate of freedom for her people she wouldn't be working for the government she despises would she. Winning a Nobel prize loses whatever value it might have when recipients spout this kind of garbage.

[man of Yosemite]

It was Sadr, a man who entered Iraq after the war from Iran, who has caused the most trouble there. Let the people decide as long as militants from Iran and Syria come in to encourage the people to vote for them at the point of a gun.

[Tempest]

I wonder where this clown was when Iraqi soldiers were abusing Kuwaiti prisoners.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

It appears one doesn't need to have a mind steeped in logic to win a Nobel Prize these days.

[Unicorn]

Yeah well up yours too.
