This appears to be a duplicate, but yeah there seems to be a pattern. LOL They aren't the only ones. Though I think this reflects far more on the agencies in question than just the CEO. This I believe was discussing a similar event, if it wasn't the UN. So far I think it is safe to say there really isn't much if anything that isn't spied on.

Hmm, where in my original post did I mention impeach? I said this was an embarassment and a scandal. Not so much that they spied on members of the UN, but that they got caught and could be used as a bargaining position against the USA in future negotiations. It's not only an embarassment for the NSA, it's also an embarassment for the Obama Administration and the US State Department whose ambassadors will have to go on full apology or denial mode, neither a good position for a diplomat. Wonder how our nation's UN Ambassador will respond when she gets back from Ireland?

It might be a shorter list to say who the NSA hasn't bugged yet.

Wonder if they spied on Obama, Biden, the Clintons, and any in the US Supreme Court?
