President Obama needs to come out and address some of what is entailed under the Patriot Act (law enacted under President W. Bush in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks), which is still in effect. And where was all the outrage then? Except from Michael Moore. “Our government is not going to spell out, neither should they, what all our spying is involved in.” Let’s not be so naïve! Government leaders are using surveillance activities on each other to the best of their technological abilities, and always have; and they all know it! “Much of the planning for the 9/11 attacks took place in Hamburg, under German officials’ noses.” National Security Agency Director, General Keith Alexander, vigorously defended to the House (Select) Intelligence Committee 10/29 that the NSA’s intelligence gathering activities, “have saved many lives, not only here but in Europe and around the world”. “Earlier in the week, the Wall Street Journal reported that European spy agencies collected phone records in war zones and areas outside their borders that were then shared with the NSA as part of wider efforts to protect allied soldiers and civilians.” ******* “There are considerable diplomatic sensitivities of outing partner services, which the NSA relies on for a considerable amount of intelligence. A public exposure of European complicity may spark domestic outrage in Europe and threaten cooperation with the United States in the future.” NSA directors reiterated: “NSA is not spying on Americans — without a court warrant”. (Phone numbers are being tracked, especially to over-seas phone numbers). Edward Snowden leaking intelligence to other countries “puts at risk America’s national security interests”. And his father is bombastic enough to call his son “a hero”? He is NOT a hero! He is a traitor! Terrorists still abound, (despite many drone attacks)! Espionage is essential to our nation’s protection. We’re not apologizing!

How should the U.S. respond to an effort by Germany and France to force Americans to agree to new rules regarding intelligence in light of spying revelations targeting U.S. allies?
