Sweden joins the "War on Terror" by approving a law that gives the government a carte blanche for surveillance of all citizens. The law was passed by a 143 to 138 votes in the Swedish Parliament. The law was earlier referred for consideration by several institutions that in unison bashed it harshly, fearing for the privacy of the citizens, news sources and corporations. Despite the criticism by the considering instances, the law was hastily forced through overshadowed by the European Championship of Football, conveniently keeping the people glued to their TV’s. It was reported that the Prime Minister of Sweden, Fredrik Reinfeldt, was rather attending the Swedish Football match than attending the voting in the parliament. If this was due to indifference or certainty of the result was not stated. The snooping on the public will be done by the civil authority "Försvarets RadioAnstalt" FRA, roughly translated "Radio Institution for Defense", who earlier this year bought one of the worlds fastest supercomputers from Hewlett-Packard.
