TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

 

* Did Mohamed ElBaradei and the IAEA Deserve to Win the Nobel Peace

Prize? *

 

World leaders are hailing the International Atomic Energy Agency and

its

chief Mohamed ElBaradei for their efforts to stop the spread of nuclear

weapons. But a number of environmental groups and activists are

asserting

that the IAEA has actually heightened the threat of nuclear war by

promoting

nuclear power. We host a debate between former Clinton official Nancy

Soderberg and British writer George Monbiot.
