Something for the "throw away the key" and the "hang 'em high" crowd to mull over.

Interesting read, Eric.

Helps understand why they were all so totally shocked by what happened and yet respect their justice system in the end. If it works don't knock it...

I note that they can add on extra to the term he's serving 5 yrs at a time if he's deemed to be dangerous -I suspect this will be what will happen in his case.

"Enlightened" was a word used on here to describe the Norwegians - I think "civilised" is also appropriate.
