For a peace prize, the Nobel sure can generate fury.The committee that awards the century-old prize has a tradition of never second-guessing itself in public.

Rabin was assassinated in 1995 by an ultra-nationalist Israeli who opposed his peace moves.The 1994 prize, worth a shared $933,000, was controversial from the outset, with committee member Kaare Kristiansen quitting rather than condone a prize to Arafat, a man he branded a terrorist.
