1. Obama knew....
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (10.27.13)
Like a former head of the French secret service recently stated: why criticize the USA? We have to accept that every secret service is spying in other countries. Of course they, de worldpowers and their services, do it: FSB, SIS (former MI-6), CIA, BND,.... I'm sure also our Mossad is doing the same. They function as the secret feel horns or antennae of the Government. It's normal, we have to accept it!
2. Agree with #1, but...
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.27.13)
..as it comes out, with sotero saying he did not know, but even obvious intensified the surveillance of Merkel, then it just adds to his burden of mistakes, mis-judgements, secrecy, hailing of islam through speeces, -67 borders and so on. What kind of credibility does he have left? Obamacare, which will end in chaos? Now, the world is practicing reversed racism towards sotero and his government, by NOT demanding a better quality in his politics/decisions. Which country has criticized his decisions? None. As it looks now, his feet have left the ground he was standing on.
3. I wonder if Arab states were also bugged ?
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (10.27.13)
Also I would think that after 9/11, America should be listening for any future attacks. Snowden is the traitor in my opinion. He is an instigator - manipulator for political disagreements; to put it lightly.
4. "Obama knew"
CJK   (10.27.13)
bama is immoral. so every bad act is intensified by hum.
5. Does it really matter?
Cameron ,   USA   (10.27.13)
6. #3 Snowden's role
Ezra ,   San Diego   (10.27.13)
Actually, if you lived in the US, you'd think Snowden did the American public a favor. If you live outside the US, he's just another trader...unless you belong to a country that gets spied on. The guilt-by-association excuse is chronic lying on Obama's part. Admitting it, and then identifying standard operation procedures is more leadership-like than getting caught in a lie; which is what he just did....again.
7. So Khalif Hussein O. putting the blame on Israel didn't work
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.27.13)
8. #5 yes it does
(10.27.13)
Yesterday, the Obama regime blamed Israel for spying on Merkel. If it turns out that Obama knew that it was the NSA, it means Obama is a baldface liar who is no different than a third-rate dictator like Erdogan.
9. Oh give the over-kill drama a bloody rest, #8
Cameron ,   USA   (10.27.13)
