Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik accused prison officers of trying to drive him to suicide in conditions he describes as "a mini Abu Ghraib." Breivik wrote a 27-page letter addressed to prison officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press today.

"If it wasn't for the fact that I am an exceptionally patient person, I would most likely have lost my mind in pure frustration," Breivik said in the letter dated October 15 that was updated on October 26 and October 30.

"Anyway, there are limits to what a person can take." Breivik wrote that he is frustrated that guards do not cooperate with his carefully planned daily schedule, where he times his various activities down to the minute.
