So, here we have Neues Arbeit, the Partie that has probably made most use of leaks, both in oposition and in government, in the entire history of parliament, arranging for the arrest of someone who made use of similarly leaked information.

The information that was leaked was not security sensitive but facts that ought already have been in the public domain and had been supressed simply to avoid embarrassment for Brown and his cohort.

It is the job of Opposition to hold Government to account. This arrest is little more than an attempt to hinder the opposition from doing it's job.
