The Nobel Prize is being cheapened once again. And it's great to see the tin foilers are once again will bend any science to bash US. Oh look, even Iraq war was inserted in to a rant. :)
<blockquote>Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Saturday caused a storm of controversy with claims that HIV/AIDS is a deliberately created biological agent.
"Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys from time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that," Maathai said.
Maathai is Kenya's deputy environment and natural resources minister and a world renowned ecologist told reporters in Nairobi that HIV was designed to cause genocide.
"Us black people are dying more than any other people in this planet," she said.
"It's true that there are some people who create agents to wipe out other people. If there were no such people, we could have not have invaded Iraq," she said.
"We invaded Iraq because we believed that Saddam Hussein had made, or was in the process of creating agents of biological warfare," she added.
"In fact [AIDS] is created by a scientist for biological warfare," she added.

Of course, some people (http://www.useless-knowledge.com/articles/apr/oct148.html) are stating she never deserved the Nobel Prize, that the decision for her award was political.
<blockquote>About a year ago I wrote an article praising the awarding of the nobel peace prize to Shirin Ebadi, an Iranian human rights activist. This years winner shows that the nobel prize is back to its old political ways.
As deserving as Ebadi was, this years winner, Wangari Maathai is undeserving. Like most recipients of the prize they are selected for the radical political views and not for any real work. Maathai is an ecologist from Kenya. Now according to the newspapers all they will tell you is that she wants to stop deforestation in Africa. All well and good. What they don't tell you is that this woman is a conspiracy theory crackpot. Believing that AIDS was cooked up in a laboratory in the west to eliminate black people.Well it really shouldn't suprise me. The Nobel prize goes to anyone in vogue with leftist movements. Maybe next year someone who actually deserves it will get it. </blockquote>
