Listening to the self-righteous self-justification of US spymasters really does make one want to throw up. One of these egregious individuals actually had the temerity to claim that the activities of his agency had been entirely legal and that no laws had been broken - presumably, he meant that no US laws had been transgressed.
The astonishing arrogance of these paranoid maniacs has to be seen to be believed. It appears that ANYTHING goes when it comes to serving the interests of the USA and the laws of foreign nations, as well as all concepts of decency and friendship are ignored. Simply put, the US will ride rough-shod over anyone and everyone in order to achieve its own ends.
In the UK, we continue to mutter about our 'Special Relationship' with this nation of madmen, while the rest of the world becomes increasingly anxious about their activities. Our political masters might do well to heed the words of Longfellow's 'Prometheus': "Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad"
