To add on to that, it's a very "childish" word, something a little kid would say. It's like you did something without your mom's permission, implying a child-like sneakiness or mischievousness.
- wkat4242 3y agoYeah it's not the official name for it anyway. Just the one busied by the parliament members. The official name is Commissie voor de Inlichtingen- en Veiligheidsdiensten (committee for the intelligence and security services). I'm not sure how the nickname even ended up in such a newspaper article. I can kinda imagine they would leave significant multilateral geopolitical developments out of that by the way. There were many members in those days, including from small opposition parties. Maintaining secrecy would be difficult, especially since the Dutch parliament has a very bad track history (almost every year the "troonrede" - similar to the state of the union in the US) is leaked by someone beforehand. These days they only seem to have 5 members from the biggest parties.
