Dutch Government Admits Spying on News Agency
Via Spiegel Online International.
The Dutch government admitted Monday that some of its officials had illicitly accessed the computer system of Dutch news agency GPD, which supplies more than a dozen newspapers in the Netherlands and Belgium. The agency's editor-in-chief, Marcel van Lingen, accused the government of spying, telling the Dutch broadcaster NOS that the Social Affairs Ministry had "used stolen information to influence (our) reporting."More here.
In a letter to parliament, Social Affairs Minister Piet Hein Donner confirmed that several employees in his ministry's communications department had been accessing the GPD network since the middle of 2006.
