	'Just World News' by Helena Cobban: Congratulations to ElBaradei!
		In that citation from the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awards the prize every year, the Committee states that the award is being made to this year's two winners,
		As I learned when I wrote my 2000 book on some past winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, the all-Norwegian committee that makes the award generally seeks not just to recognize past achievements, but also to encourage and draw attention to ongoing efforts to make the world a more peaceful place.
		From that point of view, we should read the citations for ElBaradei and the IAEA as strongly critical of the Bush administration's moves toward abandoning the (by aspiration) "universal" approach of the Nucler Nonproliferation Tearty, and of the IAEA which embodies and operationalizes its provisions.
