Christy Hardin Smith @ 17

raven at 10 — Matthews isn’t exactly my fave, either, but on this he was correct — the way the Speaker’s office and the whole political system is set up on the Hill, it is simply not plausible that something of this magnitude was known about in 2000 and that Hastert never heard about it until last Friday.

The thought struck that al-Sadat and Rabin received the Nobel prize, as well they should have, for their work toward peace. I have few heroes. But Rabin and al-Sadat are giants. And a few years before that, the war criminal Kissinger received the prize. Jimmy Carter was passed over for the prize. A great injustice, I think.

Jimmy Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

There was very little notice taken in the US press at the time, and absolutely no acknowlegement of it by the Bush administration.

Well GOOD deal!!! I didn’t know that. Sometimes I really do love to be corrected. This is certainly one of those times! Thanks for the info.
