European leaders have called a meeting to discuss American snooping, and I don't blame them, this is serious.
This is just insane, the level of spying and the fact that the US sees EVERYONE as fair game to be bugged and spied on.
In the UK, the phone hacking scandal caused absolute outrage because they tapped the phones of ordinary people and celebs, and the phone of a missing
(later found murdered) girl.
I think the US is worse than all of that, Murdoch is a saint compared to them.
The US just loves the whole espionage/cold-war thing so much, that they've convinced themselves over the years that spying on EVERYONE is a good
idea.
It's absolutely just disturbing.
I know America is generally a paranoid nation but this really takes the biscuit.
They will soon find themselves without any international allies or support and this scandal (i'm sure there's much more to come too) has caused
irreparable damage.
Not everyone is out to get you and not everyone should be spied on.
