Power (away from the people).

I suspected that one day it would come to this. In the post - 9/11 climate of trading away freedom for security, there would come a point when there would be nothing more to trade. I just didn't think the end would come earliest in Sweden. The Swedish parliament passed one of the most sweeping surveillance bills every seen in a democratic state yesterday, by a vote of 143 to 138 as protesters shouted outside. The bill allows the Swedish military to monitor essentially every data transmission made within, or passing through, the country's borders to monitor for what the bill calls "external threats." Somewhere, George Orwell is spinning in his grave.
