It could just be some mid-level person, US spook say, who has done this, since they would not be worried about the longer term consequences or getting found out. Someone could easily take some of the leaks personally.
- jacquesm 16y agoThat's as good an explanation of how that could have happened. What bothers me is how fast this was leaked to the media. Normally the privacy of both the victims and the accused is well protected in Sweden, especially in rape cases.
- lmaonade 16y agoA "US spook" is not a "mid-level person". Nor does a "US spook" have the authority to make the swedish government issue a warrant. Nor is a "US spook" above the law. It is within the means of an American intelligence agency, or military, of course, but the decision would come from and be authorized from the highest levels of command. That being said, it would be an idiotic way of dealing with this situation. It smacks of amateurism, and while I may have qualms with what american intelligence agencies do, they are very good at what they do, and certainly not amateurs.
