Actually reading back I didn't make my point correctly.
I am naturally outraged at the antics of the NSA and similar organisations (GCHQ etc.).
But right now I am really annoyed that the entire debate seems to have focused on "This is affecting us". It seems to have been accepted by everyone (Government, News, Public) that spying like this on foreigners is fine and dandy.
I just wish there was a bit more outrage / discussion on the "Is it actually ok to spy on foreigners like this?"

Well, you can't really fault American media for focusing on Americans (or maybe you can.) But it would be interesting to see that break into the national consciousness. I'm afraid, though, that if you asked most Americans their answer would be "of course it's OK, as long as we're the best at it." ... I can see how that could be incredibly infuriating.
