-The State Department is party to spying on other countries and the UN (really? we didn't know that already? come on) It's not the same to suspect than to have proof. And this is no little thing: it's another broken international agreement. -More countries agree with us on Iran and North Korea than I thought (shit, maybe our state department is doing a better job than I thought) Nope, not really. It has been a surprise (to most, maybe you know more of international politics than nearly everyone else)to know that arab countries wanted the US to go to war with Iran. Not a little thing, too. This is not watergate. I wish we had half this much attention on other major scandals that have gone on in the last 20 years that were far more important than everything I've seen in here so far.

And many, many more. Yes, this is not watergate. I doubt watergate was received with people saying, "hey!, this is not big news."
