Greets and saluts from the sweltering NYC metro area. Another scorcher here - which means that anything I was planning to do outside is going to be put off until it gets cooler.

Like many here, I too am trying to wrap my head around the horrific news in Norway and how this guy apparently murdered so many kids in cold blood. Some of the survivors played dead to avoid being killed as Breivik methodically went through the youth camp murdering people left and right.

Perhaps the scariest thing is that he doesn’t appear to have done this with help - he acted alone. He managed to build and detonate a bomb, and then murder so many people on his own.

That’s perhaps the worst case scenario for law enforcement the world over.

It’s one thing to try and disrupt terror cells (someone can talk). But someone who has access to the materials as Breivik did (fertilizer for the bomb) and the willingness to act on whatever deranged worldview he had; and it seems that he was opposed to the Norwegian government’s immigration position; and can carry out this attack on his own is a new and dangerous dimension that will make it more difficult down the road for security officials around the world.
