    I figure that terrorism has a political purpose - it is the use of violence or threats of violence by one group to intimidate or coerce another group in order to achieve political ends. Recently our esteemed homeland security department has taken to broadening the term to include anyone who is motivated by anything not strictly personal and who commits or tries to commit violence whether there's a goal or not. Take your choice, I suppose.

              Not much time has passed since the bombs went off in Oslo, and a guy dressed as a police office started massacring kids at a summer camp for youths involved in politics, so much of the information that has been published so far, may be totally wrong when the dust has settled. Many people are crying "It's a muslim terrorist attack". I did too, until some interesting information was published. 1) The guy disguised as a police officer at the summer camp, had the appearance of a native. Not the typical jihadist. 2) The summer camp was for left wing kids (social democrats). 3) Some witnesses claim that there was a "fake" police officer close by just before the bomb(s?) went off. I think these cowardly attack(s) were made by a Norwegian "Oklahoma bomber(s?)".

                      Oslo police chief of staff Roger Andresen told the San Francisco Chronicle that the maximum prison term Breivik could face is 21 years under Norwegian law - and that's because they have labeled what he did as terrorism. Presumably they believe that he'll be rehabilitated in 21 years.

                        If you can believe anything posted on the internet, there are many statements about 'containment' where, at the end of the 21 years, prisoners are assessed as to whether they remain a danger to society. If so they serve another 5 years. These 5 yearly sentences could be repeated ad mortem, I suppose.

                            Yep, however if a prisoner is sentenced to containment at the time of his trial, he can also be paroled after ten years, or any time thereafter. If he does serve his full term, another hearing in court must be conducted to sentence him to another 5 years, and so on. Norway also has the rather interesting habit of giving murders and other criminals unsupervised parole for weekends, etc. I would hope that the bleeding hearts withhold their feelings of fellowship with this guy.

                              How do they decide if he still remains a danger to society? Do they let him out and see if he kills few hundreds more?

                                But, that should deter other criminals from attempting such heinous acts. A good legal system should not just punish crimes, it should also prevent crimes.

                                  Most "right-wingers" are in fact the sanest and most practical people on the planet. Certainly there are fringe-looneys on both sides of the fence, but to say "predictably right-wing" presumes that most acts of terror are committed by right-wingers. History does not agree. If there is ever to be peace in the world, it'll come from the right, not the left.

                                    I have no idea. Perhaps you should Google for details of the Norwegian Parole process.

                                      Yep, however if a prisoner is sentenced to containment at the time of his trial, he can also be paroled after ten years, or any time thereafter. If he does serve his full term, another hearing in court must be conducted to sentence him to another 5 years, and so on. Norway also has the rather interesting habit of giving murders and other criminals unsupervised parole for weekends, etc. I would hope that the bleeding hearts withhold their feelings of fellowship with this guy.

                                      Policy, rather than habit, surely. I have no knowledge of the Norwegian Parole process or its Recidivism Index.

                                        A conceptual metaphor, old boy. Nothing more.

                                          Most "right-wingers" are in fact the sanest and most practical people on the planet. Certainly there are fringe-looneys on both sides of the fence, but to say "predictably right-wing" presumes that most acts of terror are committed by right-wingers. History does not agree. If there is ever to be peace in the world, it'll come from the right, not the left.
