High-ranking politician and former defence minister has resigned in Sweden:
"Anders Björck served as Swedens defence ministers in the early 1990s under then-prime minister Carl Bildt. For the past 12 years, he has headed the Swedish Intelligence Commission (Försvarets underrättelsenämnd FUN), an defence agency tasked with monitoring the intelligence services of the Swedish Armed Forces and the National Defence Radio Establishment (Försvarets radioanstalt FRA). His current term as head of the intelligence oversight body is set to expire in June, but Björck announced at the weekend he wants to leave his post early in because he lacks confidence in the new surveillance measure which came into force January 1st, reports the Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) newspaper." --clip-- More at http://www.thelocal.se/17610/20090216/ Background article to the FRA law issue: http://news.smh.com.au/technology/sweden-adopts-law-allowing-official-eavesdropping-20080619-2t67.html Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
