“EU leaders Condemn Out-of-Control US Spying”
by Koenig
October 25th, 2013

Europe’s leaders have turned their wrath on the US, condemning as unacceptable the alleged “out-of-control” spying on citizens, heads of state, and governments which has enraged Washington’s closest allies and could threaten trade and security ties.

Claims of widespread surveillance of phones, email and social media made in leaks by Edward Snowden, the former contractor with America’s National Security Agency (NSA), have already caused rifts between the US and nations including Brazil and Russia.
But it appears that not even Washington’s closest friends are immune from the snooping. On Wednesday night it emerged that the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, called President Barack Obama to take him to task over reports that the NSA had bugged her mobile phone.
Her call came days after French media reported that the NSA had monitored more than 70 million phone records, text messages and private conversations in France in one month alone, propelling the issue to the top of the agenda at a summit of EU heads of state in Brussels.
“I have... made it clear to the President of the United States that spying on friends is not acceptable at all,” Ms Merkel said as she arrived. “We need to have trust in our allies and this trust must now be established once again. To this end, we need to ask which data security agreements we need, what transparency we need between the US and Europe.”

Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13
