Split english and norwegian posts.
This turned out a bit different than I initially though. The english and norwegian sections will essentially be separate. Afaict there's no direct way to make a "combined view" listing both english and norwegian posts. However, I think that's fine. Let's roll with this for now.

+A really great read from Duncan Campbell, the investigative reporter who exposed the Echelon program in 1988.
+
+> In my 40 years of reporting on mass surveillance, I have been raided three times; jailed once; had television programs I made or assisted making banned from airing under government pressure five times; seen tapes seized; faced being shoved out of a helicopter; had my phone tapped for at least a decade; and — with this arrest — been lined up to face up to 30 years imprisonment for alleged violations of secrecy laws. And why do I keep going? Because from the beginning, my investigations revealed a once-unimaginable scope of governmental surveillance, collusion, and concealment by the British and U.S. governments — practices that were always as much about domestic spying during times of peace as they were about keeping citizens safe from supposed foreign enemies, thus giving the British government the potential power to become, as our source that night had put it, a virtual “police state.”
