‘Liberals’ Reveal Link Between Terrorism, Drug Trafficking 19. febrúar 2007 15:16 Keflavík police authorities still haven't caught Osama Bin Laden entering the country. The Icelandic Parliament saw some action last week, as representatives of the Progressive and Liberal parties argued heavily over the nature of terrorism. Spurred by MP (and recent liberal addition) Valdimar Leó Friðriksson's claims that infamous terrorists had at times been apprehended at the Keflavík International Airport, Keflavík police authorities stated that no known terrorists had thus far been captured at the airport. In response to the statement, Progressive MP Guðjón Ólafur Jónsson called for Liberal MPs to enlighten the parliament of exactly which terrorists had been apprehended to their knowledge. Responding to Jónsson's enquiries, the Liberal Party's vice-president Magnús Þór Hafsteinsson pointed out that passengers were frequently caught with materials to produce "massive" amounts of narcotics. This, claimed Hafsteinsson, is what Friðriksson (who was on sick-leave from parliament that day) was referring to. To irrefutably establish the link between terrorism and drug-trafficking, Hafsteinsson then quoted the Icelandic dictionary's definition of terrorism ("sabotage, manslaughter, wounding."), adding: "What is the mass-production and distribution of narcotics in this country other than sabotage, wounding and even manslaughter?" Jónsson responded to Hafsteinsson's explanations, saying they were a pitiful attempt to justify his fellow MPs outrageous claims through free word-association, adding that Liberal MPs should see fit to apologise to Icelanders and their parliament. As of today, no such apologies have surfaced.
