"I am worried because the President of the United States is a fascist, a misogynist and a racist," said MP Þórhildur Sunna Ævarsdóttir in a speech at Parliament yesterday. She's worried that Trump will establish secret prisons around the world to imprison people he finds unacceptable.

She asked Foreign Minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarsdon whether he would secure that Iceland would not partake in war crimes by serviving prison flights. She was alluding to the presidency of George W.Bush and persistent rumours that such prison flights stopped over in Iceland.

Þórðarson answered that Iceland would stand by the values mapped out in their foreign policy. and that her scenarious were ill founded.

As a response Ævarsdóttir said that they weren't at all ill founded. "Trump has declared that he's going to recommence the practice of water torture, which is a war crime."
