WikiLeaks has pledged to reveal the name of a second country that is having virtually all of its mobile phone calls recorded by the US National Security Agency, despite a warning that leaking the information could "lead to deaths".
The pledge came after The Intercept revealed that the Bahamas and one other country were having most of their mobile calls recorded and stored by a powerful NSA program called SOMALGET.
While the Bahamas was named, the identity of the mystery second country was kept hidden.
WikiLeaks to name second country where the NSA is said to be recording the content of phone calls, despite warnings from Glenn Greenwald that this could “lead to deaths”
According to top secret US National Security Agency documents disclosed by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, Australia's electronic spy agency, the Australian Signals Directorate supports a top secret NSA intelligence collection program codenamed MYSTIC, which harvests telecommunications "metadata" – in several countries, including the Philippines.

Drug cartels and Mexico would be my guess... if it leads to deaths.
If it does not lead to deaths it could be some banking related like Switzerland
Where is the most secrets in the World... and hidden treasures... Can we follow the money on this episode too as it was pretty much true with bahamas being a tax haven.

Anyone care to take a stab at which country this might be? From what little I was able to read this morning, it appears the NSA is using a contracting company to do the spying. We'll have to see.
The Obama administration is moving military assets into place in preparation for a possible evacuation of Americans from Libya, as a political crisis threatens to touch off a new wave of violence in the unstable country.
Officials say no decision has been made on whether to move U.S. personnel, particularly those at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, out of Libya. But the U.S. military is preparing in case the State Department makes the call.

I heard about this earlier this morning, I was wondering when someone was going to get around to posting about it.

If they're recording all the phone calls in the Bahamas, maybe it's Cuba?

Cuba? Nahhh, why bother with Cuba, not much to be gained from that island.
My bet is Mexico, and an even bigger bet is that the deaths they think would happen would be the agents & officials working with the cartels down there. C'mon, we ran weapons to them. Of course we're going to eavesdrop.
