Nobel Peace Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Nobel Peace Prize is one of five Nobel Prizes bequested by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel . Four of the five prizes are awarded in Stockholm each year, but Nobel had stipulated in his will that the Peace Prize could not be awarded in Sweden. Instead the Norwegian capital of Oslo was chosen as the award site and a Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee is appointed to select the laureate for the Peace Prize. According to the will of Alfred Nobel the prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

The Washington Post did not publish Jim's rebuttal, so FCNL is posting it here. September 28, 2001 ONE PACIFIST'S POSITION by James Matlack
Director, Washington Office
American Friends Service Committee
In response to Michael Kelly's column of September 26, "…Pacifist Claptrap," I write as a Quaker pacifist who is profoundly offended by his scapegoating, his shallow analysis, and his presumptuous moralizing. Kelly portrays pacifists as "not serious people" who are self-deluded, self-righteous, "objectively pro-terrorist," and devoted to an "evil" position. "No honest person" can see pacifists otherwise in the current crisis, he says. I speak for myself, not for all pacifists, but I know many Quakers and others who would find unity in my remarks. Michael Kelly is seriously mistaken about the depth of pacifist conviction, the pacifist response to war, and alternative policies that could be adopted in response to the horrific events of September 11th .

CARY, 86, FORMER ACTING PRESIDENT OF
HAVERFORD COLLEGE AND ANTIWAR ACTIVIST
Stephen G. Cary, former acting president of his alma mater Haverford College, antiwar activist, and lifelong Quaker, died Tuesday, July 30 of complications due to prostate cancer at his summer home in Chatham, Mass. He was 86.
He was a conscientious objector during World War II and served in the Civilian Public Service from 1942-46. For two years he was the elected director of two camps in Big Flats, NY and Elkton, Ore. He also directed the CPS Overseas Training Unit at Swarthmore College in 1943. He served on the board of Wilmington College in Ohio from 1952-58. In 1965, Cary undertook a fact-finding mission to South Vietnam to explore whether the people there had needs the AFSC might be able to fill. The report was the basis of Quaker service programs in Vietnam for the next decade. Cary himself became an ardent supporter of the antiwar movement. He fasted for a week in 1971 in front of the White House with five clergymen as part of an ecumenical protest against the war, and was part of a 1972 group that tried to block the loading of the USS

ACLU of Colorado F iles Class Action
Lawsuit Challenging Denver Police
Spyfiles on Peaceful Protest Activities FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mar 28, 2002 The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Colorado (ACLU) filed a class action lawsuit today challenging the Denver Police Department's practice of monitoring and recording the peaceful protest activities of Denver-area residents, keeping files on the expressive activities of law-abiding advocacy organizations, and sharing those files with third parties. The suit also charges that Denver police have falsely labeled the ACLU's clients as "criminal extremist," including the American Friends Service Committee, an 85-year-old pacifist Quaker group that has won the Nobel Peace Prize for its advocacy of nonviolent social change; and Sister Antonia Anthony, a 73-year-old Franciscan nun whose opinions and lawful protest activity are documented in police files. Additional plaintiffs are End the Politics of Cruelty, a Denver-based human rights organization that has focused on issues of police accountability; the Chiapas Coalition, which conducts education and advocacy activities supporting the struggle of indigenous persons in the Mexican state of Chiapas; and Stephen and Vicki Nash, whose participation in peaceful protest activities is also the subject of police files. The ACLU first revealed the political spying at a news conference March 11, when it disclosed several pages from the Denver police "Spy Files" and called on Denver Mayor Wellington E. Webb to put a stop to the practice, to make a full public accounting, and to permit individuals to review their files.

Working for Peace In Our Time
It's nearly Christmas of 2001. America is celebrating the birth of Jesus, the King of Peace, by engaging in the wholesome past time of slaughtering thousands of innocent Afghan families as well as possibly tens of thousands of Taliban fighters, a group we financially supported until the moron needed an enemy to bomb to make America feel all warm and fuzzy about itself. There is little to be proud of in America right now. Therefore, we all have two choices; we can either wrap ourselves in some colored cloth and lower ourselves to the despicable and sick level of the current regime or we can shake off the horrors and sadness and use our combined power to cleanse America and the world of the real evil that Bush and his minions, like all other filthy creatures that infect this world, represent. Below are just a few of the groups that are striving to create that world of peace and brotherhood. I've used their own words to describe their missions wherever possible. You will never hear of these groups in the corporate media because there is no monetary gain in their acts, hence, no profits in recognizing them. You must seek them out yourselves. Here are just a few places to begin. The following sites range from political organizations to New Age to religious to the very personal. There is no "correct" path to peace. Rather, all paths, when honestly and respectfully pursued, lead to that same goal.

    Pacifism in American History
    Conscientious objection has a unique place in United States history. In fact, the tradition of refusing military service - and the recognition of that right - can be traced back to America's founding fathers, some of whom were pacifists fleeing oppression for their beliefs in Europe. Several of the original colonies, including Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, were founded by the Quaker pacifist William Penn.
    The framers of the U.S. Constitution even considered including an exemption from military service for conscientious objectors in the Second Amendment. This clause was omitted because they did not envision the need for creating a standing army.
    At the onset of the Revolutionary War, George Washington issued a draft order, which was a call to "all young men of suitable age to be drafted, except those with conscientious scruples against war."
    During the American Civil War, the conscription law of the North provided the
