"Europeans outraged over US spying"
I'm not so outraged about watching our allies but I am out raged over electonic spying on American citizens without constraint or even motivation. It isn't as invasive as many presume but it stinks that polotical leadershio has gone so far with it as this administration has. Just think of our ho-hum "news" media would be if a Republican president was in charge of all this!
I was a civilian contractor helping to maintain and operate an NSA site in the southern Smokey Mountains for some 12 years (bureaucrats do nothing except shuffle paper and wave their hands for people who can do something to make things happen)and i know for a fact that what is now routine would NOT have happened AT ALL in those days! It was and remains illegal to do what they have been doing but now it's The One doing it and the media all HOPE they can CHANGE the dialog as they have the last five years.
