Feck Me Barack is turning into a Nixon covert spy [United States bugged European Union offices and gained access to EU internal computer networks, according to secret documents cited in a German magazine on Saturday, the latest in a series of exposures of alleged U.S. spy programmes. Der Spiegel cited from a September 2010 "top secret" document of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) which it said fugitive former NSA contractor Edward Snowden had taken with him and which the weekly's journalists had seen in part. The document outlines how the NSA bugged offices and spied on EU internal computer networks in Washington and at the United Nations, not only listening to conversations and phone calls but also gaining access to documents and emails. The document explicitly called the EU a "target". A slew of Snowden's disclosures in foreign media about U.S. surveillance programmes have ignited a political furore in the United States and abroad over the balance between privacy rights and national security.] http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013...ms-us-eu-trade Last edited by arista; 30-06-2013 at 04:10 PM. |

The main difference is is that other countries aren't incompetent at spying and they aren't causing international incidents every other day.

They should be punished for it by the U.N. and sanctions brought against them as they would with any other country violating international law.
But it wont happen the U.N. are gutless. |

You seem a little bit upset, perhaps you should step away from the computer for a while.
Anyway back on topic, that one man in a snuggie managed to make a mockery of the US's intelligence agencies and caused the most powerful country in the world to be pissed off at America. This EU stuff is just embarassing for them. The government really needs to look at their covert operations since they haven't really grasped the 'covert' part it seems. |

If you want to call yourself a whistleblower, you have to have something to blow the whistle on. Why has he still not provided anything that shows the US doing anything Illegal? OMG, the US spy agencies are spying on people, who ever would have known!!?? When is he gonna leak something that we didn't already know about?

Your blind patriotism is quite worrying, there's nothing sadder then a person willing to defend the violation of their own rights for a misplaced love of the piece of land they just so happen to be living on. You should be outraged at your government for all their recent failures, not going into full-on 'murica mode. |
