I expect them to have access to pretty much everything. It's how they actually use it that is the potential problem. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 10:10 13
- sofar it has taken them more than 10 years to figure out weathger or not Angela Merkel is a potential Terrorist so it don't look like they use it much - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:14 12
  - I figure that if the spies aren't supposed to spy on foreign leaders then who the hell ARE they supposed to spy on? -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 10:21 9
    - I think the expectation was that we would spy on those we had a *need* to spy on . (not our allies) -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 10:25 2
      - there are agreements on it too and it has been the "practice" for decades - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:28
      - I think the expectation was that we wouldn't get caught. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 10:27
    - The universal response to being caught spying on a foreign nation is to apologize to that nation and say it will never happen again... - Ender Oct 30, 10:23 1
      - and be thrown out of the country or put to trial if possible - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:25
    - true and i guess the answer is to treat US military personel like enemy military personle - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:23 3
      - Like Germany isn't spying on us too... -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 10:24 2
        
        but i doub't the EU is spying on the US although if they are the intel is always outdated since it has to be translated into some 20 languages before - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:32
        
        lol then don't be worried german "inteligence" is renowng for being totally amateurs - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:26
  - Id' figure you guys, more than anybody, would want someone keeping an eye on 'ze Germans. - Mel Profit Oct 30, 10:16 1
    - if they would limit themselfs to that it would be reassuring but they don't everyone is in the same refugee boat here it seems - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:18
Newsflash: Intelligence Agencies collect Intelligence... -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 10:08
we're all outer party members? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:08
Could we maybe just start making the list of things the NSA isn't tapping/recording/compiling? -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 09:53 7
- I just assume they have access to a lot more than we even suspect even with all these revelations. - Mel Profit Oct 30, 10:08 3
  - "ESPN has learned that the NSA makes secret changes to your fantasy football roster..." - Inigo Oct 30, 10:10 1
    - agreed. - Mel Profit Oct 30, 10:11
  - absolutely -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 10:08
- too early -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:02

jeebus. It's time to completely close shop and shut that agency down. Far more harm than good. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 09:52
