I ask.

"They want to go on rumors--not facts-- and go for political effect, and that's what the Special Forces command is really afraid of."'

This is in reference to the new culture a-borning in the US military and the subsequent 3rd November Hellfire attack on a car in Yemen's Marib province. The aeroplane that fired the missile was an unmanned Predator, but the policy is the same: Gerald Ford was wrong. It's okay to target and kill people without juridical process.

And while the Hellfire attack was lauded far and wide, I think that Anna Lindh (Sweden's foreign minister) was right when she said that the US attack, even though it had Yemeni approval and co-operation, 'Is nevertheless a summary execution that violates human rights. Even terrorists must be treated according to international law. Otherwise, any country can start executing those whom they consider terrorists.'

No wonder they're willing to go to war even without UN approval.

OR MAYBE IM JUST TOO PARANOID???

Don't worry. Here in Sweden, any discussion of international relations or political motives behind the murder, is not taking place. The obidient Swedish people has adopted the mainstream media's angle to focus the issue, not on Anna Lind in her role as FM, but on the violent society and particularly against women. Even the few more radical media that we have is totally silent. After years of debate and critizing her all too soft foreign relations with U.S.
On Friday Colin Powell among others arrive in Stockholm to attend the memorial ceremony, turning the security arrangements in Gothenburg into a picnic in comparison.
On 9/11 2001 the net exploded with discussions. On September 11th 2003 (oddly considered NOT a high security risk date by Swedish "intelligence"?) the Swedish websites and discussion forums turned totally numb.
I don't want to live here anymore. The day the "dark forces out there" decide it is time to "liberate" the last drops of oil from our neighbor Norway, and need reliable Sweden as a base, I want to be some other place. 'Cause nobody gives a damn in this introvert, cold, cowardly society.
