Did they use information at the library to learn how to build the bombs? That's a free service. Why wouldn't they?
Let's shut the libraries down too. Only people with enough money to buy books, and to pay for street informants, should be able to bomb other people. It'll cost you, what, $100 to have someone trail someone else home? There's no way a bomber could afford that.
Now with my tongue out of my cheek - if the bombers knew who to target because some of the gang members grew up on the same neighborhood so knew where the relatives lived, then making this information private wouldn't change a thing.
A site dedicated to strong privacy laws should use strong arguments to support its claims, not a mischaracterized third-hand (a Guardian writer describing Swedish news reports about police and neighbor statements) news report that may actually have nothing to do with the topic.
