I viewed the breaking news report this morning before work, and have been waiting for new developments--which have come.

"[The Prime Minister] said Norway had been "shaken by evil" but that Norwegian democracy and ideals would not be destroyed."

I'm hoping that's essentially a slap in the face to the United States, to be honest. I'm hoping he stands by those words and that law, justice, and democracy do not tremble in light of this; for sadly, I do not think of the terror wrought by these few lunatics, but of the sweeping and over-compensatory changes in government and policy that often follow such events. I'm afraid of the government appealing to fear. But it seems that Norway is a strong, intelligent country. I don't think they'll take the bait.
