Philosophy Wire: Sweden, the bad “good” child…



Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-12-27]: Two Swedish journalists have been arrested on account of espionage and supporting terrorist groups and have been convicted to jail sentence [source: BBC News]. Sweden has always been considered the good child of Europe. The fact that this country was the best friend of Hitler or that it send oil companies (call me Lundin Petroleum) in countries ravaged by civil war or sends “journalists” to those areas (after they had talks with rebel leaders in London) are insignificant “details”… (plus the fact that the lawyers of the journalists are “thinking” – and not sure – whether they will appeal the court decision) Phenomena are deceiving most of the times… And the one who looks saint is usually the filthiest of them all…
