The German Chancellor Angela Merkel has reportedly been on the spy-list since 2002. And investigating further, the German media have revealed that Obama was aware of the particular operation since at least 2010 and even ordered the NSA to prepare a comprehensive dossier on Merkel.
I predict isolation for the US in the future. Few allies and a pariah status. And all thanks to one man, Edward Snowden. Thank Mr. Snowden for exposing the hypocrisy, dishonest, corrupt and imperial face we all know to be there. If not for you we would be totally unaware of it and it would still just be a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory nobody would believe. I hope more comes out and they keep on being bombshells relegating US foreign policy null and void. -Mort
