Threatening the three Kurds, the mullah was only using his freedom of expression, the lawyer maintains
A politician
- Krekar is not a terrorist, but a scholar and a politician, says Sjødin, according to VG.

Why should people pay attention to Jens Stoltenberg's favorite music?
Anything he wants to cover up at the moment?

I find the news about the German constitutional court ruling quite intriguing. As a Brit I read the Daily Telegraph and quite enjoy their finance section. I was surprised I didn't notice this in there. Also, it should be pointed out that it looks like Ireland is going to have a referendum on the new Euro Fiscal Pact. This, of course, threw the Eurocrats for quite a loop. Between these two events, I think we can see some democratic accountability being demanded in the EU?
