| #4 Here is what Mads Gilbert said, in the wake of the 9/11 atrocities, to the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet : "The attack on New York did not come as a surprise with the politics the West has followed the last decades. I am upset by the terrorist attack, but I am at least as upset over the suffering that the US has caused. It is in this context that 5000 dead has to be seen. If the U.S. government has a legitimate right to bomb and kill civilians in Iraq, the oppressed has a moral right to attack the U.S. with the weapons they may create as well. Dead civilians are the same whether they are Americans, Palestinians or Iraqis". When asked if he supported a terrorist attack against the US he answered: "Terror is a poor weapon, but my answer is yes, within the context I have mentioned." (Dagbladet, September 30, 2001) |

| #3 I got curious about this unlikely juxaposition of Nowegians and communist child molesters and did an on-line search. The only reference was on Wikipedia and it said" "This wiki is currently inactive. Please help to revive or relaunch it! If you need help with starting or improving this wiki, you are welcome to post questions on the Wikia forums or contact a member of the Community Team." Any thoughts for how it could be improved... not involving flammables and/or explosives? |

| #2 "Gilbert is not your average do-gooder medic. A radical Marxist member of the Norwegian Maoist Party..." Now, THERE'S a main-stream organization.... |
