The man who has confessed to the twin terror attacks in Norway which killed 93 people will appear in court today and has requested an open hearing so he can explain his massacre to the public.
But prosecutors have asked that the court be closed to the public and media. They have also requested eight weeks to prepare their case, said Oslo District Court spokeswoman Irene Ramm.

Why was the court closed to the media? If Norway believe in free speech why isn't there an open-enquiry. Why don't we get to hear his justification?
I'm sure many would not give him the chance, but surely it would be useful to understand why someone would commit such an atrocity?
What does everyone else think? Interested to hear people's opinions.

I am not sure what to think myself, but the official explanation is that is about security. They are afraid that he might release some secret codes that can be deciphered by like minded individuals.

Of course he wants an open hearing. He wants to send symbols to the other two cells to begin their operations. I don't care what anyone says, he did not act alone. He had help somewhere. I do not believe he is alone in his thoughts. I do believe that there will be more attacks of this caliber elsewhere, and he wants to wear his "uniform" as a clear signal to the others in his group to proceed with their operations.
Norway should keep the hearing closed, either that or try to bait the other members into a trap.
