Cry me a river, Jacques. Corruption has been at the heart of the French government for a long time. Just ask Eva Joly.

Why does the law on privacy apply only to American citizens and not for others?"

Because they live in AMerica ya big galoot!

The French are like cats - they dont like thier excrement to be un-covered.

Ummm...don't accusations usually preceed defenses? OH, I know! The French are unhappy that private phone calls weren't made through the UN to the French officials and compaies in order to allow them to deny allegations before the allegations were even made.

It's called a diplomatic pre-emptive strike.

So true. The French have been making up stupid feudalist cartoons about the US for the past 50+ years. Like the US forces its culture on Europe. What a laugh! The French cannot stand the choices made by their own people!

It is not surprising that we tell the truth about the corruption of the French and they can't stand it. I just read about a new book in which a European confronts the European misconceptions about the US and the Euros are hopping mad. How dare anyone suggest that they are wrong!

"Why does the law on privacy apply only to American citizens and not for others?" asked one French diplomat.

Because it's a U.S. law froggy and since you aren't American you don't qualify.

Here is the UncleSam RULE of THUMB:

The madder, angrier and more pissed-off the French are,

the happier UncleSam is.

Jean-David Levitte, the ambassador, told the White House and the State Department of France's "displeasure" that French officials and companies were accused without having a chance to defend themselves.

Defense normally comes after you've been accused you fancy frog twit.

The biggest mistake Ike made during WWII was to liberate these sniveling cowards. They should have been left to the Germans.

I love to see grown men cry. I stopped buying anthing French shortly after 911. Friends they are not. Allies they are not. To use an Australian saying "Bugger Them".

Well they were sort of in the way on the route to Berlin.
