Heffermehl is simply stating that the criteria that Nobel had in his will and that were to be used to award the Peace Prize are not being followed by the Nobel Committee. It is ridiculous to claim that Heffermehl is objecting to peace:

Can you specifically cite a link to Margaret Mead disagreeing with "Heffermehl's narrow interpretation"?

Margaret Mead (1901-1978) (www1.voanews.com/a-23-2010-01-17-voa1-84658937.html)
Heffermehl's Nobels Vilje (2008) (vidarforlaget.no/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=444)

Since Mead died 30 years before the publication of Heffermehl's book, I doubt that you can, but maybe they discussed the topic prior to 1978. If so, please provide the link.
