Your daily BS from Anders Breivik.

An appropriate punishment for this fascist murderer and enemy of multuculturalism would be lifetime, solitary imprisonment in a cell covered with happy pictures of people from all races, religion and ethnicity. This would be better than capital punishment or even waterboarding.

From the NY Times:

The man on trial here for killing 77 people last year in twin attacks said Thursday that he regretted not having killed even more and that he was justified in shooting young people at a political camp because “regardless of their age, they had taken on political leadership roles.” 

“No, I am not a child murderer,” the defendant, Anders Behring Breivik, 33, said in response to a prosecutor’s question. “If you take up membership in a political party and seek a leadership position, then you have chosen.”

He added, “In retrospect I would say there was no better political target in Norway.”

Mr. Breivik said he had also hoped to capture former Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland at the political camp, and to film himself beheading her with a bayonet or knife, an execution technique that he credited to Al Qaeda. 

...

“The strategy was not to kill 69 people; the strategy was to kill them all,” he said, betraying no sign of emotion. He added that he had intended to shoot as many people as possible on the island and use the surrounding waters as a “natural weapon” to drown the rest.  

...

On Thursday, the fourth day of a trial that is expected to last 10 weeks, Mr. Breivik entered the courtroom without making the closed-fist salute he had used on the previous three mornings. A self-styled anti-Islamic militant, he has admitted the killings, but said he was acting to defend Norway against “Islamic colonization.”

...

Prosecutors depicted Mr. Breivik as a friendless loser who spent an entire year playing computer war games in his mother’s home. Mr. Breivik acknowledged that after an investment setback in December 2006, he had moved into his mother’s Oslo house.

He told the court that he knew, even in 2006, that he wanted to carry out a “suicide” attack. He said a psychiatrist’s report compiled since the attacks, in which he was depicted as saying he decided on his plans only in 2009, “was a lie.”

Mr. Breivik insisted that he did not have money problems, saying that one of the prosecutors, Svein Holden, was “giving the impression that I moved back home and rented a room in my mother’s house because I had gone bankrupt.”

“But I wanted to preserve my funds,” Mr. Breivik said, “so I could spend more time doing what I wanted to do, which was write my manifesto” — a rambling 1,500-page justification of his rampage that detailed his thoughts about the danger posed to Europe by multiculturalism and Islam.

With Mr. Holden and the other prosecutor, Inga Bejer Engh, taking a sharply more aggressive approach than in previous days, Mr. Breivik appeared sullen, and several times accused them of trying to “humiliate” him.

Mr. Breivik said he had taken the year beginning in December 2006 as a “sabbatical,” during which he spent 16 hours a day playing the video game World of Warcraft.

“I know it is important to you and the media that I played this for a year,” he told the court in response to Mr. Holden’s questions. “But it has nothing to do with July 22. It is not a world you are engulfed by. It is quite simply a hobby.”

“I had been dreaming about it all my life, to take a sabbatical to do what I always dreamed about,” he said. “Some people want to sail around the world. Some people want to play golf.”

He said he spent four months through February 2010 playing another game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, for six hours a day. That game, he said, helped him hone his shooting skills because he was able to practice with the aid of its holographic sight.

...

Without the “training” of the video game, he said, “I would not have been able to do this.”

As he drove to the island, he said, he heard on the radio that the bomb had gone off and that it was thought to be an attack by Osama bin Laden. Mr. Breivik smiled at the memory.

In response to a question, he said he considered himself an empathetic person. But when asked how he showed his empathy, he said, “Right now I am very tired. I can’t answer that.”

If Mr. Breivik is found to have been sane when he carried out the killings, the presiding judges can sentence him to up to 21 years in prison, with a provision to keep him behind bars longer if he is still considered dangerous. If he is found to be insane, Mr. Breivik can be kept in forced psychiatric care.
