NSA leaks reveal spying targets

The plot just gets thicker and thicker...Snowden is certainly dictating the game atm.

Quote:

More details of people and institutions targeted by UK and US surveillance have been published by The Guardian, The New York Times and Der Spiegel.

The papers say that the list of around 1,000 targets includes a European Union commissioner, humanitarian organisations and an Israeli PM.

The secret documents were leaked by the former US security contractor, Edward Snowden, now a fugitive in Russia.

They suggest over 60 countries were targets of the NSA and Britain's GCHQ.

I am waiting for them to be revealed as spying on subversive terrorist elements such as the RNLI and Age Concern.

They might as well confess all. They're spying on everybody but the ones who actually need to be watched.

Like the house, the senate and all of these lobby groups.

Snowden is of course guilty of all, what the NSA and the GCHQ do.

Now there still is a very slight difference between the messenger, and the crime he reports, some people tend to forget that.
As the term whistleblower means a policeman's whistle is blown to catch the thief. But it seems no one cares, for those agencies.

I can imagine how ten-thousands of NSA staff happily reads all those christmas cards, and the mails of their relativres, friends and a few enemies (why is there no vomiting icon?). Can it get any lower ?

@Jim: What do you think about the London surveillance cameras ? Do you personally think it's a good thing ?

No, not at all but we live in a world of clandestine smoke and mirrors that most if not all people are or should be aware of....traitors who suddenly 'develop' a conscience after accepting and enjoying the rewards from their employers leave a bad taste in the mouth though.

The term 'Quisling' springs to mind.
