" It was quoting a Swedish source:"
Yes. The author of that article quoted from a Swedish source but for just one part of his article. The rest, 3/4's at least, was the authors spin and speculation using other "facts."
Besides IMO he's an American right wing, fundaMENTAListic, religious nutbag. But regardless of that he's not European and his opinion doesn't count on what happens there.
(*handy application of the neocon rule for discource where they discount European opinion of American things)
