The Nobel Prize you get for best intentions - Just got more political

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Nobel funded the thing, setting it up as a trust of which he was the settlor. Subsequent trustees should only be allowed to alter the process, format, etc. to the extent and in the manner delineated by the trust itself.

Nobel himself indicated that intentions and/or the potential to encourage peace should be adequate cause for awarding the prize. I always thought that is rather silly, but I come from a culture that rewards accomplishment and not intention for the most part. Nobel's prize, not Seamus,' so his rules should apply.
