The man who took on George Bush and won - Nobel Peace Prize
The man who took on George Bush and won (the Nobel Peace Prize, that is)
By Anne Penketh, Diplomatic Editor
Published: 08 October 2005
In a dramatic rebuff to President George Bush, the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the man who dared to tell the Americans that the main plank of the US argument for waging war on Iraq was based on a lie.

The Nobel committee bestowed the prestigious award for 2005 on Mohamed ElBaradei, the UN official who rose to prominence by exposing the lengths that America would go to in its efforts to build a case for war.

Article Length: 898 words (approx.)

2. Sometimes, the Nobel committee gets it.
Not, of course, as when it awarded the prize to the mass murderer Kissinger.

This year, however, with ElBaradei and Pinter, they clearly got it right.
