When when jay carney says the united states is not monitoring and will not monitor her phone calls which leaves open the past which might have well said we have done it so what? we have come a long way technologically and morally since secretary of state simpson famously said gentlemen, do not read each other s mail. well, they do and they listen to their phone calls and she knows, this probably. and she also knows that germany and france and all the rest are very dependent on american intelligence. so, this is a case of, i think, more she has to be one way in public and mortar tolerant in private. but, we have to say that the list is growing. and let s put up some of the names. brazil s president postponed a state visit to the u.s. after reports the nsa intercepted her messages. and then there are also reports that the u.s. gained access to communications of mexico s former president while he was in office. juan, it may be standard ....
Wasn t as if they targeted angela merkel and saying we want to know what she is saying to her husband and friends. this is a large sweep apparently and her cell phone was among them. the larger point here is that you have to understand the damage being done by snowden because it s not just these snowden s refusings and what he may have given the russians, he is still over there what he may have given the russians is damaging america s national security. as part of our tweet, the panel feature we got a tweet, which i m going to ask to you answer, steve, it s from stephan hart. during his first campaign, president obama said he would change the negative way the world looked at us. has he succeeded and, steve, how would you answer that especially in terms of the revelations of nsa spying? no. he has not succeeded. and i would say that the nsa revelations have done some damage, but much more damage has been done by the policies that he has affirmatively coach and had little to do wit ....
