> Until now it was only "we just do it for the bad guys", not "to fuck France and Sweden businesses over". Industrial Espionage is something that everyone does to everyone else. The US did not invent it, it goes far back in history, and everyone is involved. The difference today is the US just happens to have the best and biggest resources to do it well. What's disgusting is this direction that Snowden has taken. He's game now is to embarrass the US, and to give ammunition to countries and players to use on their next negotiation deal with the US.
