The Latest Snowden Leak Has Made The US A Moral Outcast

The latest document leak from Edward Snowden is a stunner. While the whistleblower may not be invited to speak at Brandenburg Gate watch sympathies throughout the world turn on Obama. America's image abroad has hit a historic low and many Americans, not just those on the loony left but middle America, will soon express shame for their country. We have hit rock bottom.

For starters the United States has been aggressively spying on 38 embassies and missions of its close allies. The list of targets includes the EU missions and the French, Italian and Greek embassies, as well as a number of other American allies, including Japan, Mexico, South Korea, India and Turkey.
One of the more the most egregious affronts to international decency is the spying on the EU mission in Manhattan code named "Perdido". Just to make sure the point was well taken Snowden provided a map of the facility. The methods used against the mission include the collection of data transmitted by implants, or bugs, placed inside electronic devices, and another covert operation that appears to provide a copy of everything on a targeted computer's hard drive.

It seems each nation has a code spy name. The operation against the French mission to the UN had the code name "Blackfoot" and the one against its embassy in Washington was "Wabash". The Italian embassy in Washington was known to the NSA as both "Bruneau" and "Hemlock". The Greek UN mission was known as "Powell" and the operation against its embassy was referred to as "Klondyke.
Whatever happened to our great country? It has lost all moral credibility. Read more here.
