Re: Nobel Prize
From CNN:
Asked if the selection of the former president was a criticism of Bush, Gunnar Berge, head of the Nobel committee, said: "With the position Carter has taken on this, it can and must also be seen as criticism of the line the current U.S. administration has taken on Iraq."
From the Telegraph:
When asked if the award to Mr Carter, 78, was a "kick in the leg" for Mr Bush, Mr Berge replied: "Yes, the answer is an unconditional yes."
A "kick in the leg" is the Norwegian equivalent of a "slap in the face".
Cripes, they weren't even subtle about it.
