Booms and headshots in central Oslo

Yes, soon we'll be hearing how this Norwegian bastardo deserves a medal for standing up against Al Qaeda and worldwide Muslim terrorism.

...if we haven't already?

What a disgusting, odious little shit.

[Salty]

It's difficult to imagine anyone saying something like that with the direct intent to distract people from the fact that not all terrorists wear turbans. Regardless, I disliked Beck before, now it has sunk to absolute disgust.

Is it wrong to hope that he dies soon from some really humiliating and discrediting death like overdosing on heroin while attempting autoerotic asphyxiation with an illegal Latino pre-op?

[Juana]

Dunno, but it's funny.

Only if Rush Limbaugh isn't in the mix.  I think they're a matched set.

Point.

Norwegian intelligence believes Breivik doesn't have links with UK extremists.

I'm going to wait until we hear from the UK on that one.  Sorry, I just find it very hard to believe Oslo has that many UK-based assets, for obvious reasons (we're military allies anyway, and Norway doesn't have a huge population from which to recruit, and so has to use its existing assets in a careful and strategic manner).  I've no doubt they can handle the internal aspects of the investigation very well, but they're going to need allied intelligence agencies to do the international legwork, especially as they're now looking at contacts he may have had in other European countries.

I love the message that colbertnation sends at us Brits when we want to watch it's clips.

"Dear Great Britain
We're terribly sorry, but full episodes and video clips of The Colbert Report are not available. But please don't send any Red Coats in retaliation at this time, as you CAN experience the truthiness at FXUK."

Aw, sorry.  Does that mean you can't watch them?  It's the beginning of his segment from Tuesday? I think it was.  ETA:  duh, the date's in the URL, I'm such a derp.

Best bet is to pirate them.  While FX do have a consistently good programming (being the first UK channel to show Dexter, The Walking Dead and Burn Notice, among others) they're only available via pay for options, most normally Sky.  And FX ain't worth that package deal of suck and fail.

Breivik had a number of targets for that Friday, it seems.  I did wonder...the fact he didn't shoot himself to evade capture suggested he intended to get away and attack again at some point, but it looks like something went wrong with his plans for an extended terror campaign.

From Breivik's manifesto:

Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici – PCCTS (the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon), the Knights Templar was re-founded in London in 2002 by representatives from eight European countries... The founding session (two meetings consisting of 4 founding members and host as a security precaution) was held in London, United Kingdom – Apr, 2002.

Founding (re-founding) members:
Anonymous 1 – Nationality: English Protestant (Host)
Anonymous 2 – Nationality: English Christian atheist
Anonymous 3 – Nationality: French Catholic
Anonymous 4 – Nationality: German Christian atheist
Anonymous 5 – Nationality: Dutch Christian agnostic
Anonymous 6 – Nationality: Greek Orthodox
Anonymous 7 – Nationality: Russian Christian atheist
Anonymous 8 – Nationality: Norwegian Protestant (member and proxy for 9)
Anonymous 9 – Nationality: Serbian Orthodox (by proxy, location: Monrovia, Liberia)

Unable to attend:

Anonymous 10 – Nationality: Swedish
Anonymous 11 – Nationality: Belgian
Anonymous 12 – Nationality: European-American

I came in contact with Serbian cultural conservatives through the internet. This initial contact would eventually result in my contact with several key individuals all over Europe and the forming of the group who would later establish the military order and tribunal, PCCTS, Knights Templar... According to one of them, they were considering several hundred individuals throughout Europe for a training course. I met with them for the first time in London and later on two occasions in Balticum. I had the privilege of meeting one of the greatest living war heroes of Europe at the time, a Serbian crusader and war hero who had killed many Muslims in battle. Due to EU persecution for alleged crimes against Muslims he was living at one point in Liberia. I visited him in Monrovia once, just before the founding session in London, 2002.

I was the youngest one there, 23 years old at the time... There were only 5 people in London re-founding the order and tribunal (1 by proxy) but there were around 25-30 attending in Balticum during the two sessions, individuals from all over Europe; Germany, France, Sweden, the UK, Denmark, Balticum, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Austria, Armenia, Lebanon and Russia. Electronic or telephonic communication was completely prohibited, before, during and after the meetings. On our last meeting it was emphasised clearly that we cut off contact indefinitely.

...This was not a stereotypical "right wing" meeting full of underprivileged racist skinheads with a short temper, but quite the opposite. Most of them were successful entrepreneurs, business or political leaders, some with families, most of them Christian conservatives but also some agnostics and even atheists... I was asked, not only once but twice, by my mentor; let's call him Richard, to write a second edition of his compendium about the new European Knighthood....

There have been attempts in the UK to tie both Paul Ray (the blogger "Lionheart") and Alan Lake, a far-right financier, to Breivik and imply they are "Richard", his "English mentor".  Neither are convincing, however.

Seems there's also a bunch of URLs (which partially decode to GPS co-ordinates) buried in the manifesto.....
