This is one of the bizarre things that happen...
This whole thing starts up when the Justice Department received a report from Army Signal Intelligence that one of their employees was surfing for porn on a Justice Department computer. Now usually this just results in a reprimand, or in these crisis times a firing. Now somebody had the good (or bad) sense to ask how Army SigInt actually knew this. The Norwegian Army being nice and naive replied, we monitor all Administration Internet Traffic. Fair enough, that would explain how they found out. Not really an invasion of privacy, government computers being monitored they government, fair enough.
However, somebody realized that this means that the Army was monitoring traffic to and from the Prime Minister's office, and the office of ALL other ministries. Yes, Army spying on the Prime Minister.
Sure, but this being Norway I don't see a problem. What important secrets do they have? The PM's granny's lutefisk recipe?
I am sure the NSA is probably into everyone's internet business over here.

I'm posting this mainly to raise the issue if your spies are watching your politicians.
Traditionally the Swedish armed forces have been illegally spying on behalf of the Socialist Party. I don't know whose dirty work they are doing atm.
RCMP used to do so all the time, so I imagine that CSIS is now. no clue whether "military intelligence" is though

Why shouldn't they? Politicians are likely sources when it comes to "secret" information being leaked.

They swore on every thing holy that they didn't spy on the royal family....
