A recent Salon article exploring the “surprisingly warm” relationship between Texas Gov.

Rooting out bigotry in Colorado Tea Party on 9-11 anniversary

BOULDER-- Iranian attorney and 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi urged the United States to center its policy toward Iran on human rights in a speech Friday that kicked-off a two day symposium here at Naropa University Friday night.

She saw the surprise award as encouragement for the U.S. to further pursue peace and dialogue as part of the international community.

Obama’s Cairo speech converges on East-West obligation
