So BBC tells me today that the spying on Angie's mobile has been going on since early 2000. And Obama knew nothing about it. WTF?
Playing dumb? I think so.
The general feedback i've been getting, via BBC reports, when questioning department heads and various organisations, including the UK PM is that it's all ok to spy on people, and perfectly fine to spy on your allies.
The justification most agree on is that the countrie's security comes first and that, for example, in PM Cameron's words is that anyone that questions the necessity and reason for spying on individuals, no matter who they are, is to be criticized denounced as some evil-doer who has no right questioning the moral implications, not to mention the legal implications in some cases and the justification on select targets.
Once again, i say wtf?
If i was Angie, i would be furious. Livid.
If the Germans were spying on Obama since early 2000, what would be the implications of that?
Big bad Germany? I can see it now, the ignorant hate rhetorics bleated i bet.
It shouldn't be a shock that spying on other countries has gone on since ww2.
But what should be a shock is spying on your allies, indeed moreso the leader of a allied country!
Alliance my arse.
The US worried that Germany will become a super power (again) and rise up against the European nations and take Lebensraum?
What a joke.
EDIT:
I'll add this:
