Rating: 5 out of 5

Norwegian psychiatry did not seem to be able to work well under the judicial framework given it. The Norwegian judiciary did not seem to be able to work well in the political and popular framework given. I suggest reading this book as a study of the unusual Norwegian frame of mind.Can an American look at Norwegian politics? Perhaps if Norway can look at American politics. Did the PM really say immediately that their reaction would not be like ours to 9/11? Did their 21-year limit (hedged) on murder punishment really emerge from their own inner selves, after executing wwII traitors, or was it an invidious comparison to us?Is the repeated Nobel endorsement of American Democrats intrusive?The Nobel Peace Prize committee seems balanced politically, but it's deliberations are sealed for fifty years, and the real decisions seem to be made by "academic consultants", who, as far as I can find out, remain anonymous.No wonder to me that they had such a tough time dealing with such an evil killer.
