Angry Swiss lawmakers have called for the ouster of US diplomats implicated in an illegal surveillance program in Switzerland.
The call comes a day after the Swiss Ministry of Justice said it was investigating reports that the US embassy in Geneva has been conducting illegal surveillance on Swiss territory, according to the Associated Press.
Reports say that US diplomats have been monitoring some citizens' actions -- including allegedly taking pictures of street demonstrations and of people deemed to pose security risks, sparking a wave of anti-American sentiment.
I guess the US has just decided to start spying on everyone.

That's fair, maybe we should boot all the foreign diplomats in the US who are supposedly working at the UN while spying for other countries as well. Not to mention all the unpaid legal bills and crimes done with Diplomatic immunity.
Karma is a bitch

It was america that allowed the genocide in Kosovo to occur because they never wanted there troops on the ground.
Instead they bombed and made matters worse on the ground. This action greaty exacibated the genocide.
I'd love to see the US leave the bogus institution called the UN
YUP, We should have stayed out of Europe's present day problems. I say the next time the EU has an internal problem we should mind our business and let the EU handle it all by themselves. No matter how much they ask..
I am not disputing accountability, I am disputing the perception being portrayed that the US is the only one playing this game... To focus on one, is to discount the others and that is distorting the truth

Wouldn't be such a bogus institution if not for all the Veto powers used by the US and others..
The Veto vote is a direct attack on democracy and one of the big reasons the UN is a failure..
