vgane, did you read the interview?Nara,
Is not US doing this to prevent its soil from being used for terrorist/anti-national activities....No doubt they are crossing the limits & going over board...But how do you draw a line when you are in the radar and even a small slip up will be costly?
vgane, did you read the interview?
Given the kind of extensive surveillance US is engaging in -- like spying on Dilma Rousseff, Petrobras, etc. -- it is highly unlikely that US is not spying on Indian Government and Indian companies at the highest levels, this includes various ministries and cabinet meetings. Are you comfortable with all this in the name of preventing terrorist attacks?
FYI, this kind of mass and extensive surveillance has very little to do with threats of terrorist attacks. Dilma of Brazil took US to task in her UN speech. She cancelled State visit to D.C. on account of this. Even some US lawmakers are speaking against it. But not India, it must be a matter of national shame that IG is silent about it. India is prime target for US surveillance and there is nobody in IG willing to even mildly object. There is no other country on the face of this earth that is more subservient to US than India.
thanks ....
Ha, now you catch on, this is what I was talking about, it is not the terrorists US is spying on, it is your ministers, PM, corporate leaders -- unless you think these are terrorists ......This is more shocking..US spied on space & nuclear programs too....

2. When a nation has the ability to gather data by snooping it will certainly do that on friends and foe. What matters is what use it is put to. If US does armtwisting when they come to India for business negotiations using the info that they have in their hands, it is for the Indian Govt. to tell them plainly to go and hang and withdraw from that deal.
