My dear man, crowned heads are free to play a little game of courtesy, but nations owe one another none. — Becket
Like I’ve said before, all of the revelations from Edward Snowden about the government keeping watch on American citizens is fair game. There are moral, ethical, and legal reasons why the NSA and the rest of the alphabet soup shouldn’t be doing these things. But the moment the revelations start talking about what the U.S. government does to foreign governments and individuals, he crosses a line with me. Even when we’re talking about allies like Great Britain or Germany, it’s the job of our government to gather intelligence from foreign powers. I fully expect that the BND and GCHQ have a file open on Barack Obama, so why is it such a surprise that the NSA has files on Andrea Merkel and David Cameron?

/ March 6, 2014Concur. Snowden ratting out the intelligence community about _domestic_ spying? Wrong channels (What? He couldn’t figure out ONE “clean” Congresscritter or federal judge to dump the data on first?), but still a legitimate whistleblower to be commended and protected.
The INSTANT he revelaed information on foreign targets, he committed espionage and should be shot.
