Not saying that it excuses any of the actions, nor am I trying to be inflammatory, but I have a serious question. Does anything really think that France, or Germany, or any other nations is not doing the exact same thing to the US? All governments spy on each other, even allies. That is how its been for probably the entirety of human history, and probably will be for foreseeable future.
