Comment on NSA spying: France 'will not tolerate' threat to security

Comments

The fact is that the French and US intelligence services enjoy a degree of cooperation and interdependence that no government in Paris would ever dream of jeopardising.

Well, but France isn't one of the Five Eyes. I can't imagine that the French have intercepts from President Obama. But from what I've read, it's conceivable that Israel does.

Given that information is power, who's in charge?

I find it incredibly suspicious that one of the most powerful institutions in the world, one which controls congressmen, are trusted to regulate their own industry, and has a vital interest in secure communications, is not raising a stink about this.

I'm talking, of course, about Wall Street. Why wouldn't they care that their communications are being intercepted and analyzed by a government agency?

Wouldn't you like to know.

It would amuse me.

But otherwise, it arguably wouldn't matter.
