המטמון של המסמכים שנחשפו על ידי קבלן NSA לשעבר אדוארד סנודן חשף כי ארה"ב השתמשה בשיטות מעקב כדי לפקח על מיילים וטלפונים של בעלי ברית זרים הקרובה ביותר בהן גרמניה, צרפת וברזיל. הגילויים הביאו לפגיעה חמורה ביחסים של ארה"ב עם מדינות אלה אף פקידי מחלקת המדינה התעקשו כי תוכניות מעקב אלה סיכלו איומי טרור רבות ברחבי העולם.

Yes, but only because in doing so it could be possible to be aware of corruption. Other allies spy on our country as well. But stop corporate espionage. Using NSA surveillance and other forms of such spying can actually hinder progress.
@LZGWGX3 שנים3Y
Yes, but surveillance of potential terrorist threats only
@LP6KPW3 שנים3Y
Yes, but should instead find a way to more directly work with the other countries to prevent a possible terrorist attack. Take downs should be handled by the country it takes place in. But information should be shared.
@LP4WXG3 שנים3Y
All countries have surveillance on other countries.
@LP2V283 שנים3Y
Vigilance is important, but targeting spying programs of terror cells rather than allied nations themselves is a better use of resources.

Eliminate this agency if it is going to become a pawn of the WH administration, like in the current situation. People are being blackmailed!
@LNW7B83 שנים3Y
As long as the county agresses and is aware we are using surveillance. We may be able to find something out that they were not aware of, and inform them of suspicious activity.
@LNHR6G3 שנים3Y
There should be a cooperation between allies to monitor for terrorist threats, but surveillance should not be done without the host nation's knowledge.
@LNHHHX3 שנים3Y
Yes, with permission from the nation to survey potential threats.
@LN4PPC3 שנים3Y
No, the NSA should not spy on anyone without reason
@LN4DFZ3 שנים3Y
Yes, but do so with the condition that information so received will be shared with our allies to allow coordinated action against threats.
