“The German Justice Minister, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenburger, demanded an ‘immediate explanation’ why Washington was applying to Germany policies ‘reminiscent of the actions against enemies during the Cold War.’ The president of France has said that France will not again cooperate with Washington on any issue until France receives ‘full assurances’ that Washington will cease spying on France. Do any of these protests from politicians who are almost certain to be on Washington’s payroll mean anything, or are they just make-believe protests to quiet the domestic European populations who have been betrayed by their elected leaders?”
