ONCE AGAIN, FIVE otherwise obscure individuals on the Nobel committee in Oslo, chosen by the Norwegian parliament, made controversial news today in giving out their Peace Prize, the world’s most sought-after award.

- ANDREAS KLUTH

They did so for the best of reasons, for this year’s laureate — Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela — is as deserving as any has ever been. Machado, as the committee put it, is known for her tireless work promoting democracy for Venezuelans and her struggle against dictatorship. That dictator is her nemesis, Nicolas Maduro. If Venezuela were free, Machado would probably be President instead of him. As it is, she’s in hiding while still leading the opposition against him — and giving hope to Venezuelans and all others who love liberty.
