On the same day that German officials censured the U.S. government for the NSA’s surveillance of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone, new revelations show that 35 world leaders (not named in the report) were given the similar spy treatment. The Guardian reported Thursday that the NSA “monitored the phone conversations of 35 world leaders after being given the numbers by an official in another U.S. government department, according to a classified document provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden.” Via the Guardian: The confidential memo reveals that the NSA encourages senior officials in its “customer” departments, such the White House, State and the Pentagon, to share their “Rolodexes” so the agency can add the phone numbers of leading foreign politicians to their surveillance systems. The document notes that one unnamed US official handed over 200 numbers, including those of the 35 world leaders, none of whom is named. These were immediately “tasked” for monitoring by the NSA. … The memo acknowledges that eavesdropping on the numbers had produced “little reportable intelligence”. In the wake of the Merkel row, the US is facing growing international criticism that any intelligence benefit from spying on friendly governments is far outweighed by the potential diplomatic damage. |

America's elites appear to be pathologically paranoid. They are completely dysfunctional and totally untrustworthy. Can the US be considered an ally at all? Not any more it seems. 1 Like |
