US Spying on Europe
#1
I'm interested in how you feel about it. I guess it finally matters now that they've discovered our NSA is not just after Al Queda, but also snooping on trade negotiation secrets, and what Angela Merkel had for lunch.

I'm glad it's finally hit a boiling point over there. I was just reading in TechDirt, "Keith Alexander Says The US Gov't Needs To Figure Out A Way To Stop Journalists From Reporting On Snowden Leaks". I'm outraged, but feel our flash in the pan news cycle here is "over it" and on to another kettle of fish. Our citizens either don't know, don't understand or don't care that their rights are trampled. And... unlike Europeans, we are supposed protected from our own NSA by the Bill of Rights. For what it is worth, on behalf of my arrogant, jack booted government, I again apologize.

The only glimmer of hope that remains from my point of view is that they've targeted journalists, and nothing removes a tingle from your leg like a subpoena to testify before a federal grand jury to reveal your journalistic sources.

In a show of solidarity, wouldn't if be nice if some European nation other than Russia might consider giving Эдвард Сноудена asylum.
