The headline "Sweden's Watergate" was smeared all over Aftonbladet's frontpage 11 May 1976, four months before the election, after someone had broken into the government's offices. Now history repeats itself, but with a modern slant: why bother to go to all the trouble of committing burglary when you can get what you want by obtaining access to the governing party's computer network. Yes, I'm talking about that 24-year-old FP party activist again. Today another youth party activist has admitted to the same crime, a third is under suspicion, and political scientist Erik Åsrad has brushed the dust off the term 'Sweden's Watergate' in a soundbite eagerly picked up by a number of newspapers. In Norwegian press the soundbite has largely been omitted, but the term kept. The description was last used in February this year about the Social Democrats email campaign against opposition leader Fredrik Reinfeldt.
