Meanwhile, in Iran, the Mullahs are keeping up their
charm offensive.
Iran’s hardline regime has confiscated the Nobel peace medal and diploma of Shirin Ebadi, the human rights lawyer who is one of its most potent and outspoken critics. Her bank account has also been frozen on the pretext that she owes $410,000 in tax.
The seizure of the award, unprecedented in its108-year-old history, caused outrage in Olso where the Nobel peace committee is based.
Rumors of the award being given to Obama are wildly exaggerated.
