(24,544 posts)It was an OP from someone stupid enough to say that other countries were MAD at us because of the NSA program. It's hard to take anyone seriously that believes such utter and complete nonsense.
It was a Kos diary that had a list of comments from Germany, Australia, Brussels and some other countries and the source for many of the comments was an Arab newspaper/blog that I'd never heard of. I posted a link to an article from The Real World that showed that the Aussies are not only NOT pissed about the revelation of this program, they ACTUALLY USE THE DATA FROM PRISM in their own spying capabilities. And you know what else? I'm willing to bet everything in my wallet right now that a butt load of those other countries not only have their own spying programs, but utilize information from their allies which would also include info from PRISM.
The Patriot Act sucks and is a blight on this country. But ignorant people pushing moronic agendas are another.
