#2 One correction: Sven is a Swedish name. Not sure where Helga is common, but it sure isn't Norway. Try Ola & Kari for your archetypal Norwegians, should you ever have need for them again.

#5 Great article Fred. Loved the commentary too. It would seem that slowly the Norwegians are waking up too the truth. I'm impressed a journalist had the balls to make this report over there.

#6 Thanks for the article and commentary. Fortunately, the aricle never used the phrase "spiritual leader of Ansar-al-Islam" which I have seen over and over in the press about Mullah Krekar. I'll grant him some leadership skillz...but no way does any of this involve spirituality!

#7 Part of the recent Amnesty International rant against the US included condemning the US for acting as if it was engaged in a war against terrorists,when AI thought the US should treat the terrorists as criminals,w/civil rights,etc.
Note that "Back in Norway,Krekar was acquited...on the grounds that HIS GROUP WAS WAGING WAR AND THUS COULDN'T BE CONSIDERED TERRORIST."Norway is thus in agreement with the US on the status of the terrorists as engaging in war,not a criminal enterprise.Wonder if Amnesty International will condemn Norway now?
