#3 Probably not, but the Dutch government may be. Having two legislators live under lock down has changed their view of domestic security.

#4 The leaked documents referred to ongoing and highly sensitive operational activities by the AIVD in relation to terrorism. Leaking this material - including the transcripts of phone taps - posed serious risks to the investigations, prosecutors argued. The court agreed, and said the leaking of the information could have posed serious dangers to Dutch society.

Oh, those backward Dutch! Don't they know that leaking the details of anti-terrorist operations is the highest form of patriotism? Why, it's the very duty of intelligence services to let this stuff out!

#5 It's Expatica's policy and has been for years. Something about being "Innocent unless proven even more innocent of being a traitorous murdering weasel scumbag of a loserr jihadi wannabe."

Usually I'll just run the first name and a few trial/charge sheet details through Google News to find the full name.

#6 ... jailed for four-and-a-half years for leaking confidential information to terrorist suspects [ including] ... Mohammed B, the man who killed film director Theo van Gogh ...

Seems like an awfully short sentence for someone who served as an accessory to murder.
