Why wouldn’t we eavesdrop on them?

This is so not a story. All countries—friendly or enemy— spy on each other. I worked at an Army facility that produced equipment of interest to many countries. We even had liaison officers assigned to oversee their interests. A guy from one of these countries was found dumpster diving one very dark night.

Eventually, the story got out on post. We all laughed about it and kidded the man in the cafeteria. Officially, he was lightly spanked and told not to do it again. Life went on. We assumed all the liaisons were intelligence gatherers for their respective countries. It goes without saying we do it to them as well.

Is this really a surprise to anyone? The Israelis spy on us, we spy on the Israelis. Same deal with the Brits, the Canadians, the Mexicans, etc, etc.

This will be the NY Times lead tomorrow, so it must have happened during the Bush years.

This is no big deal. Every country spies on both its allies and enemies.

I hope the US eavesdrops on every single embassy

Every country spies on every other country if they can. Does not matter if it is a friendly or unfriendly nation. I detest Obama but in my opinion this is much a do about nothing. As a matter of fact, I would be disappointed if we were not doing this type of covert surveillance

The Cabal in Washington is out to get Israel and the USA.
