In the past few days, my colleagues on the Guardian have been publishing stories of national and international significance – indeed, if truth be told, they have been publishing them for most of the autumn.
The international scoop was that America’s National Security Agency tapped Angela Merkel’s mobile phone (along with the phones of many more world leaders). The shrug-of-the-shoulder explanation that “spies spy,” doesn’t really work in this instance,On-Board Diagnostic(Obd2 Obd2 Professional Diagnostic Tool) systems are in most cars and light trucks on the road today. does it?
Spies in democratic countries are meant to be under democratic control.Vag Tacho Usb Version V 50 3.01 Dash Correction Tool VW + Vauxhall Opel Immo in Vehicle Parts & Accessories, Garage Equipment & Tools, Diagnostic Tools & Equipment ... Elected politicians have few problems authorising surveillance on their country’s enemies. But when it comes to their country’s friends, they should balance their curiosity in hearing what Merkel is saying with the political costs of an ally discovering that America is treating her as if she were an international terrorist. The whole point of democratic supervision of the intelligence services is that politicians can tell the spies that just because they can do something does not mean they should.
The Guardian scoop showed that the Obama administration either did not care about the possible damage exposure would either bring, or let its spies do as they pleased, and abandoned its democratic duty to oversee the secret state.

In any case, the Guardian – for whose parent company I work, I should add – is not only bringing us foreign news. On Saturday, its correspondent James Ball answered a question that has baffled everyone who has hung around the criminal justice system: why do the police and security services refuse to present intercept evidence in court? The answer is that they feared that the public might realise the scale of state surveillance – and protest. Hence, the intelligence services lobbied furiously to hide the fact that,Eight tips for choosing the right diamond Concrete Saw Blades Manufacturers including determining wet or dry cutting, blade compatibility, CSDA codes, and more. in their words, telecoms firms, had gone “well beyond” what they were legally required to do to help intercept communications.High Security Payphone Lock Sale Solutions provide revenue protection, key control, physical security, and environmental protection.
