Accused Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik praised four Australian conservative leaders - including former prime minister John Howard - in his 1,500-page manifesto.

Breivik faced a closed court in Norway overnight accused of carrying out the attacks which police now say killed 76 people - mostly teenagers attending a summer camp - on Friday.

The judge in the case said Breivik - who was arrested after massacring 68 people on the island of Utoya - had admitted the facts of the case but had not pleaded guilty.

In a manifesto posted online under the Anglicised pseudonym Andrew Berwick, the killer quoted Mr Howard, former treasurer Peter Costello, Catholic Cardinal George Pell and conservative writer and historian Keith Windschuttle.

so sick of right wing hate

right wing 'historian' Keith Windshuttle re-wrote Aboriginal history..they wiped themselves out and the fact colonialists used them for target practice was co-incidental.

2. I think we can drop "accused" Jeremy

As you point out, he has admitted the facts of the case. Your inclusion of the word "accused" may be customary presumption of innocence in English speaking countries, but it matters not to the Norwegian legal system where accusations and guilt will be decided.

3. if he liked John Howard

he must have been a big Bu*h lover --but mangled Bushian quotes may not have been very useful...

5. Breivik admired Howard for ignoring "the predictable outcries from various NGOs and anti-racists"

when it came to immigration policies.

6. That was my first thought.

He must have idolized the pretzeldent.

4. Australian right wing leaders (like their American counterparts)

would love nothing more than a "final solution" to deal with minorities.
