. . . . . . but I don't think he should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize . . . at this time anyway . . . .

Well, he could be held with other terrorists who have committed heinous acts. But Norway has been, until now, remarkably free of such behavior. So perhaps we could volunteer to hold him at Guantanamo?

Keep him at Guantanamo just long enough to waterboard him a few times to make sure we have all the intelligence we need from him, then swiftly and painfully execute him.

That is not entirely accurate. Yes, he will get 21 years as that is the maximum penalty. But he will most likely be secured ("forvaring"), which in practice means that he can be locked up for the rest of his life. The link mentions this as well:
"Norwegian law does allow for a convict to spend more than 21 years locked up, as experts can keep him or her behind bars up for additional five-year stretches if the prisoner is deemed dangerous. "
But yes, 21 years is too low. Actions like this should result in a life sentence without having to renew that in 5 year stretches.
"By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." (Luke 1:78-79)
“There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.”

So all he has to do is be on his best behavior for a while and then he won't be deemed dangerous. He's back free and can plan his next attack.

I do not know the judicial details about this system, but I doubt it is that simple.
