August 28, 200916 yr Yeah I heard about this. I really don't see Norway paying up. Although it's quite a funny case. With the exception of the dead driver. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
August 28, 200916 yr Why the **** is this case being administered by a military court? Though I guess that's not the most absurd aspect of this idiocy. Africa has some ****ed up states in it.
August 28, 200916 yr ...And the two poor bastards who are stuck down in the Congo. EDIT: This is in response to Walsh. I feel for the dead driver's loved ones, sure, but think of the two guys from Norway. Hey, Norway is rich. They should just show their muscle. Hire the US to invade. Come to think of it, probably cheaper to pay the Congo. Seriously, 500 Billion bucks is just crazy. That's not chump change for anyone. Hell, the ridiculous stimulous package is less than a trillion.

August 28, 200916 yr Oil money, low population. Like one of the Arab emirates. Edited August 28, 200916 yr by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
August 28, 200916 yr For reference, the GDP of Norway is $250 billion. You know, sometimes you're quite useful. Still a pain.
August 28, 200916 yr It seems the country involved is the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Za The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
August 28, 200916 yr I understand the charge is espionage and murder. There was some mention that they were security contractors, that is to say mercenaries, is this just fabrication. I can't see them working for the Norwegian government though. I mean they aren't exactly known for their adventurous foreign policy, If the Congo(ese ?) were out for money you would think they would demand something that Norway could actually pay. I think there must be good political capital in a high profile case about espionage. Colonial aggression is an easy sell for the locals.

August 28, 200916 yr I think it is likely the chaps were mercs. An old trick is for an employer to fabricate a court case against mercenaries who are due to get paid. Typically the mercs opt to run for it rather than turn up in court. Alternatively they may be prospecters or journalists. "It wasn't lies.

August 28, 200916 yr Does this count as a scarecrow of a suit? This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
August 28, 200916 yr May be they meant 500 billion Zimbabwe dollars, which is only 50 c US. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
August 28, 200916 yr Initially, those two norskinincompoops fsc*ed up, running around in the jungle playing Rambo. If the Congolese weren't such corrupt halfwits they could've kept the moral highground in this case and used the media to deter other western paramilitary yahoo-wannabes from doing monkey-business in their country. Now they're the laughingstock instead. It's a bit sad actually. French (which is a fake name) is from my hometown. I have no idea what those cooks are doing down there. No norwegian does. Most people up here just shake their heads and snicker at the whole thing. J.
