[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 935236, member: 1246"] [h=2][URL="http://weaselzippers.us/2012/02/01/obamas-nobel-peace-prize-leads-to-formal-investigation-of-award-winners/"]Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Leads To Formal Investigation Of Award Winners…[/URL][/h][IMG]http://weaselzippers.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/barack-obama-nobel-prize_399x624.jpg[/IMG] [INDENT][URL="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/obamas-nobel-peace-prize-win-leads-to-formal-investigation-of-award/"]STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP)[/URL] — Nobel Peace Prize officials were facing a formal inquiry over accusations they have drifted away from the prize’s original selection criteria by choosing such winners as President Barack Obama, as the nomination deadline for the 2012 awards closed Wednesday. The investigation comes after persistent complaints by a Norwegian peace researcher that the original purpose of the prize was to diminish the role of military power in international relations. If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden’s capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel’s will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years – though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county. Obama won in 2009, Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo won in 2010, and last year the award was split between Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman of Yemen.
