Denmark evacuates embassies
Denmark embarks on a new mission to publish sarcasm. In 2006, Danish and Norwegian newpapers published a series of drawings depicting Mohammed in cartoons. The result was buring embassies and riots.
Now, Danish newspaper have reprinted one of the cartoons, and Denmark is evacuating, or considering evacuation of their embassies in North Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
More over at CNN.
Where is my mind?
I had decided against commenting on the terror act killing one member of the Norwegian delegation to Afghanistan. But then this old Pixies tune kicked in: Where is my mind? Click Play before continue the reading!
Regarding the delegation - they published their itinerary on the Internet, thus enabling everyone the opportunity to plan where and when to meet them (or in this case - attack them). The website even had detailed information on how they where to travel, and by what means. It even said "The press will travel in a minibus (not bulletproof)".
I just have to ask the Norwegian Foreign department to sing Pixies now - Where is my mind?

You may also remember I discussed about the Terra Securities shanghaiing a few municipalities late last year? As I stated back then - when a sales guy comes to you with a deal that sounds too good - it probably is. After all, the sales guy cares more for his bonus than he cares for your delivery.
So the next time you find yourself considering a "too-good-to-be-true" offer - do yourself a favour and join in on the singing!

Norway protecting terrorist?
Living in a democracy certainly means you have to accept strange things to happen. The western world is at war against terrorism, but Norway protects a terrorist. Is this really true?
There are many reasons to protect individuals. And in most cases, there are reasonable doubts. But when one individual takes the system and turns it against itself - not only using it, but abusing it in all publicity, something must be wrong. When a known terrorist can live and stay in Norway, when all reasonable doubt has been taken away from the case, it is due time to take action.
A case that should be easy and simple - kick his but out of the country - turns into a farce of pork meat (pun intended), and the terrorist and his lawyers use any and all means to stay, while on the other hand the "victim" is praising the killing of soldiers - there must be something wrong in the world we are living in.
I would like to see action. I would like to see an end to this stupidity. Kick the but of the "victim" back to the desert, and let him stand trial in Iraq. Who cares if they decide that death penalty is the only solution? The world is very likely to become a better place if they do.
Unless of course the good Mullah Krekar is not really a terrorist - but an inside source of information to the western forces? What if this Mullah really is a spy for the westerns? Putting up a great show in the media just to keep his sources in the dark? To avoid getting suspected by his peers.
But this is probably nothing but a far out idea, right?
You will find a very well background on the Mullah Krekar and his actions in this great article.
Lebanon security update - september
I got this in my mail today:

Midway through 2010 the recovery in the corporate governance recruitment market that was evident at the start of the year is now firmly established. As recruitment consultants we have been genuinely surprised at the strength of the recovery. The recovery is focused on the financial sector and is a result of both renewed growth in the sector and greater regulatory oversight. Investment in corporate governance has clearly become a priority.
