I don't think this comees as a surprise to anyone. The US government has used 9-11 as an excuse to re-amplify domestic survailence. They have even been spying on the Quakers here (you know, those dangerous anti-war types). International espionage seems just par for the course. What's funny is that for three days international news here has consisted of nothing but Turkey and the EU (Well, I guess I shouldn't say nothing, since we do get daily updates on how many US soldiers have died in Iraq.) But Turkey's EU bid seems to be the placeholder for thoughtful international coverage. I do find that intersting, but it seems a bit much at this point.... perhaps the story should be allowed to develop....
(I guess these musings are kind of silly on a Nvu blog, but since you brought it up....)

Hum... looks like the good old times of spying are back...
Well, we just have to find were we have stored our anti-spying manuals from the Soviet Era...
New millenium will be a lotsa fun...
