    Default Respect and best wishes to Norway

    I'd just like to say that I admire immensely the bravery, determination, courage and devotion to justice being displayed at the moment during the trial of Breivik. I am sure there is a lot of anger and tremendous pain within the community, but from what I have seen this has not been the focus of proceedings - rather, the judicial process appears to be allowed to follow its course without the sensationalist spin that would most certainly accompany such a process in many other countries.

    In any event, I for one have been watching the proceedings with increasing amounts of respect and admiration for the Norwegian people and how they are handling this terrible event. I think you provide a gold-standard the rest of us could do well to follow.

    James.

    Well put James. I would like to say though, that this murderer would be singing a whole different song if he were in some of these other countries facing his punishment. Norwegians, you and your Nation are class acts.

    In my mind, the legal process allows everyone the right to a fair trial regardless of admission of guilt or otherwise. I do see your point, but in going through this trial process in a fair and transparent way I believe Norway is showing that they are better than this guy and his mindless hatred.

    Bunch of commies!!! The media should be entitled to every cent they can extract from any sensation they are able to drum up! That's what capitalism is all about, after all. I bet Rupert is livid thinking of all that easy money being thrown down the drain.
