yep, also have a look at http://www.security.nl/artikel.php3?id=2414 
(article on the same subject in Dutch)

What would this mean for GPG, the use of GPG and the implementation of GPG?

Is there such a thing as a 'backdoor' in GPG?

What encryption methodes do the TTP's use and how would they be able to build
in a backdoor so that they can decrypt their clients messages independantly?
