NSA Intercepted French Telephone Calls "On a Massive Scale" 330
rtoz writes "The US National Security Agency (NSA) has been intercepting French telephone calls 'on a massive scale,' according to a report published in Le Monde. According to Le Monde, the NSA recorded millions of telephone calls placed by French citizens over a 30-day period last year, including some placed by people with no connections to terrorist organizations. France called in the U.S. ambassador to protest the alleged large-scale spying on French citizens by NSA."

America is 75% christian, and given how feral and out-of-countrol some of the groups are, I'd say they're fair game.
Apparently the NSA agreed with you.

NSA tapped the whole frigging country including underwater sea cables.
As much as I don't like what the NSA has been doing, it's nice to know that that Yankee "can do" spirit isn't dead.

God knows, if there's anyone I want protecting from it's the French. Sir Humphrey Appleby had it right. They may be our allies now, but for most of the last 1,000 years they've been our enemies. I'd vote for an increase of surveillance on the French.
And once that's happened, let's start on the Welsh.

Not to mention the fact that the Westboro Baptists are obviously a troll group and not a sincere church. Fred Phelps used to be a civil rights lawyer for God's sake.
I get what you mean. They are a US domestic CIA PsyOp. It's always been evident.

Oh yeah, "just in case". Never mind the fact that we Canadians had robotic moose and beavers for the last 150 years and we've been using them to spy on you since the late 1200's.

You can come up with statistics to prove anything, AC. Forty percent of all people know that.
