"Oh say can you see..."

Expressen did a pretty interesting thing today, lining up these two articles, side by side, in their online publication.

"Rapes teacher - gets lifetime imprisonment"

A 16 year old Brittish boy was condemned to lifetime imprisonment on monday for raping his teacher... he will be paroled after four and a half years, but only if doctors find that he is not a threat to society.

"Rapes student-gets one year's imprisonment"

"A high school teacher was condemned to one year's imprisonment on monday, for raping a student during a feild trip...The man was also ordered to pay 70 000 SEK in damanges to the woman"

Interesting contrast. On a related note, it's been written that Saddam has expressed a desire to stand trial in Sweden. Fancy that.
