主题：【鼓掌】热烈祝贺刘晓波同志获得诺贝尔和平奖！！！ -- 李根

Conclusion: Since Liu Xiaobo has been paid by NED and obviously, willingly or unwillingly, is an American agent who works to harm the Chinese government and China, the The Nobel Peace Prize Committee, since they have known about his

payments from NED, comes in a bad light.

The committee is elected by the dominating political factions of Norway, the political elite so to say, which is the Labour Party or social democratic party (which is soft anti-communist) and Hyre (Right) or the conservative party (which is strongly anti-communist; but also impressed by Chinas economic development).

The leader of the committee is Mr. Torbjrn Jagland, who is a former Norwegian prime minister (!) for Labour (!). He is a right-wing social democrat with strong anti-communist attitudes. (He is also quite clumsy). Mr. Jagland is, believe it or not, Secretary General of the Council of Europe. His "neutrality" can easily be seen on his web pages

Any American relationship?

There may have been contacts in this case between U.S. labor federation and/or their AFL-CIO's "Solidarity Center" and some leaders of the Norwegian Labour Party. I don't know much about this, but Norwegian Labour Party has always paid attention to international contacts, which includes contacts with AFL-CIO and of course the American Democratic Party. Such "labour contacts" may explain why the committee, under the leadership of the former Norwegian Labour prime minister Mr. Torbjrn Jagland, as a total surprise, gave the Nobel Peace Prize 2009 to the Democrat Barack Obama.
