In order to get real, please post whatever proof or indication you might have that European allies bug US embassies or store billions of intercepts in huge data centers.
BTW, as was pointed out today in German TV, this is not the first time US whistleblowers tell the world that the US is spying not only on their declared enemies, but also on who is supposed to be their allies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_and_Mitchell_defection
So, you already had that kind of reputation. In that sense, the latest episode is not news. But it was about time that more than a few select government members became aware of how the US interpret their role as "leader of the free world" these days, with most communications being accessed through the Internet.
Thank you, Snowden, for making the world aware. Hopefully, we find the strength to do something about it.
