Don't forget Yasser Arafat.

That was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the title of this thread. If someone like Arafat can actually receive a nobel peace prize nothing should be surprising.

Let's face facts, the whole nomination/voting process for the Peace Prize has been extraordinarily politicized to the point where it's sometimes hard to take it seriously. If A gets nominated one year, then A's opposition will nominate their guy B. Some of the Committee members have openly admitted that they are making "political statements" other than promoting peace and rewarding peacemakers with their votes. It's at the point where the value of the award has been debased because of the politics. And the antics of some of the recepients hasn't helped. What was the name of that woman who won one year, and when President Clinton called to congratulate her, called him a "wienie." Not behavior calculated to advance whatever cause she was the head of.
