There has been a lot of drama in the local media lately, and it's all because of our "good friend" Mullah Krekar, the founder of the terrorist group Ansar Al-Islam. Some cocky Yanks from the NBC news made a documentary about how easy it was to get Mullah Krekar out of Norway and back to Iraq for trial. Ok, Mullah Krekar is a terrorist(or at least founder of a terrorist group and pretty annoyed with the Yanks) and he is wanted in Iraq for God knows how many things. So why don't we just send him on his arse out of Norway and down to Iraq? The answer is pretty simple; Norway has agreed with probably every other European nation that we will NOT send wanted people to countries where they can be tortured or given the death penalty. Imagine that; keeping the legal rights of any person no matter what they are charged with. Seems like this is something that these Yanks making the documentary(I'm not sure if I can even call it that) don't care about.
I saw a good portion of the show, but I just couldn't look at it much longer. To see these dudes show themselves with full names and act like idiots in the way they did was just too much for me to take, and I've seen a lot. And to see two high ranking politicians appear on this show and act like they want to shag the Yanks just for bringing up a document that doesn't mean shait was just disgusting.
One of the parts that was increadibly embarassing was when they begun to do surveilance on Krekar's appartment. They wanted to find out if he was really there before they gave the information to the authorities. I think there's an invetion that eluded them. It's called a fucking phone book(invented in 1878, so it's not a new invetion). Find the letter "K" in it(it's sort of like a dictionary) and see if you can find Mullah Krekar. It's probably not all that difficult, but these fuckers decided to camp outside his appartment and stash hidden surveilance cameras(illegal. For once I hope the bastard calls the cops on the Yanks) to see if he was really there. Jesus fucking Christ. And when they managed to say that they had to tread carefully on this operation otherwise "people could get killed" it just showed how retarded these dudes are. You're not in fucking Bagdad anymore. You're in Oslo; the capital of a country in where you're not allowed to own a firearm unless you're in a club that does competative shooting or a registered and licenced hunter. Do you idiots honestly think that suddenly one of Krekar's neighbours is gonna grab an AK and start shooting at you, or maybe grab an RPG and blow up your "surveilance van"? Something tells me these idiots have lost touch with reality.
So, if we look away from the fact that they have appeared like idiots on their own show, what if we look at the quality of the journalistic work they have done. I think you can sum it up with three words; A FUCKING DISGRACE! Yup, that sums it up fairly nicely. Let's make a short list:
- The document they got and delivered to the politicians had no impact whatsoever on the matter at hand. The dude signing it had no power to guarantee such a thing
-They edited the interview of Mullah Krekar to make him look as similar to bin Laden as they could.
-The politicians they interviewed: Two politicians from the same party to far bloody right of Norwegian Politics. Go one step further and you're getting dangerously close to the Nazi's(and I FUCKING MEAN IT!). They had a long interview with the Minister of Justice, but they edited that away, and they rejected an offer to interview the Minsiter of Foreign Affairs, two of three people with real political power in this case(The Prime Minister being the one left). Instead they chose two idiots from the FrP(I think they referred to them as The Progress Party(progress my ass. Recession x 2 is more likely)). FrP is the kid in the neighbourhood that nobody wants to play with. This is the party that would nod and say "yes, that was the right decision" if Bush decided it was a good idea to get rid of some nuclear weapons and dump them on strategic places in Iraq, Iran and North-Korea.
The rather amusing thing is that American Media is butchering this series, more or less asking NBC; "Hey guys, what the fuck are you smoking up there?". Commentators from Baltimore Sun and New York Times have given this program what it's worth. If I were an American journalist I would be so embarassed I would give up my profession and start sweeping streets for a living.
So, it's back to my headline; what has this to do with the world hating Yanks? Well, the only thing this program enlightens is the problem with an American thinking way: "The Norwegians haven't been able to get rid of him, so now we're gonna do it for them." They act like they're some sort of world police here to get rid of any problem that might occur in the world. It's like they have a Swiss Army knife with a special "Save the world tool" made for Americans only. This is why you're so fucking unpopular; you stick your nose in places where it shouldn't be, you say you can fix it and you either end up making a bigger mess out of it or you do nothing at all, except project yourself like idiots. And you're wondering why you lot are so bloody unpopular?
Idiots...
