Sweden's Watergate

An anonymous reader writes, "Sweden's ruling Social Democratic Party's internal network has been illegally accessed several hundred times over a period of several months. Party treasurer Tommy Ohlstroem describes the incident as "wide-scale and systematic." Computer security company Sentor's investigation has revealed intrusions originating from computers belonging to Sweden's Liberal Party, and with the upcoming election in only two weeks many commentators are already describing this as Sweden's Watergate (Swedish only). An employee of the Young Liberals has admitted to unauthorized access, but a series of mysterious coincidences in the form of exceptionally well timed public announcements by the Liberal Party suggests the involvement of more than one person."

Sweden's Watergate? Then we can expect...

[gilroy]

... in twenty-ish years, the people disgraced and chastened here will -- having nursed the interpretation that they were betrayed by democracy -- worm their way back into power, un-do any reforms that this sparks, and then lead Sweden into a disastrous war of choice under false pretenses lobbed against an isolated tinhorn dictator who was not not complicit in a major terrorist attack on their country. Bonus points if the tinhorn dictator happens to have been immplicated in a bizarre plot to assasinate the Prime Minister's father right after the father himself stepped down from the PM-ship.
