Swedish journalist suspended for obtaining leak

A journalist has been suspended from the Swedish newspaper Expressen after obtaining a wonderful way of getting scoops. Political reporter Niklas Svensson was given the code that enabled him to log into the computer network of the country's governing party, the Social Democrats. It was passed to him by an activist for the opposing Liberal Party, who had gained the knowledge illegally. But Svensson failed to inform his editors about his "good luck", and has been suspended as a result. (Via Kristine Lowe)
