The government in Denmark has fired 3 top officials from the country\u2019s foreign intelligence agency, the Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste (FE), following revelations from a whistleblower. The officials, including the head of the agency, Lars Finden, have been \u201crelieved of duty for the time being\u201d following the release of a trove of documents. The documents detailed that the FE has been illegally spying on Danish citizens in the last six years and were released by an unnamed whistleblower to the independent regulator of Danish security services which is known as Tilsynet med Efterretningstjenesterne (TET).<\/p>\n

Whistleblower reveals Danish spying, gets Danish spy chief fired<\/h2>\n

According to a press release<\/a> by the TET, Danish intelligence had maintained \u201coperational activities in violation of Danish law, including obtaining and passing on a significant amount of information about Danish citizens.\u201d Additionally, the TET noted that the FE had not only withheld information but actually reported back to overseers \u201cincorrect information on matters relating to the collection of the service and disclosure of information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to the whistleblower\u2019s documents making their way to the TET, the FE had been stonewalling investigations on whether foreign intelligence spying capabilities had been used on domestic targets. The press release went on to note that Danish intelligence actually passed on the information to other countries. Unfortunately, due to the \u201cextremely sensitive\u201d nature of the information, it\u2019s possible that we\u2019ll ever know specifically who was spied on, for whom, or why.<\/p>\n

The type of illegal spying that went on, along with the lying to other parts of the government about it, should sound familiar to American readers because it\u2019s exactly what Edward Snowden<\/a> revealed about the NSA<\/a> in 2013. For those wondering, the head of the NSA in the US at that time, James Clapper, was not relieved of duty. Now, seven years later and in another country, the outcome is extraordinarily different. The TET was set up by the Danish government in response to the Snowden revelations of 2013 and have now demonstrably proven their worth. However, it\u2019s important to note that the TET was unable to do their assigned job without the help of a whistleblower and laws in Denmark and elsewhere in the world still aren\u2019t as good as they could be to protect whistleblowers. Government officials need to be held accountable for violating the rights of citizens \u2013 the world isn\u2019t there yet, but it looks like we might be getting closer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
