I applaud the Danish Government and I wish other countries politicians would have the courage to respect the origins of their mandate to govern. And before this descends in to ‘what-about-isms’ I can name at least 5 countries whose over-sight bodies should pay attention.

"The fact that the head of the Danish Military Intelligence Service is a willing participant in circumventing the agency tasked with holding his own intelligence service legally accountable is mind-blowing and must be deeply concerning to the minister."




The usual way this works, is that there is noise. Some smack on the hand, maybe a few sacrices. Noise goes away.

Military Intelligence goes back to doing whatever they like with a shared understanding from those in power (yet not expressed as such).
