Russia, China, Isreal, USA, UK are the biggest players..... would they stoop to the lowest level to gain information that would further their interests???? To quote my very least favorite politician..."You Betcha".
It's a fact of life people... deal with it......how you choose to deal with it is up to you.
I can honestly say that in my career of both military and civilian government service, I have never seen anything that would believe me to think that anything nefarious is going on.... (snip)

Now now .... play nice.
I was in the US Army for five years. My husband was in the Air Force. We both are against US involvement in Syira. We both were against US involvement in Libya. We both are glad that the information about NSA spying on US citizens is known and we both haven't made up our minds on Snowden (if he's a whistleblower or something more nefarious). etc etc.
