I'm condemning all massive scale spying on foreign citizens regardless of country. Pretty sure there's a logical fallacy in that sentence of yours.
> I see no way for the NSA or CIA to be able to do their jobs without being permitted to spy on foreign citizens.
The U.S. is not just spying on specific citizens. They are hacking into major Chinese telecom services and sucking up all the information they can.
> The protections for American citizens against their government spying on them are intended to preserve political freedom in the US.
Is it ok to spy on American citizens living abroad or are they fair game?
