More US Espionage

I guess somewhere along the way I got the wrong idea about espionage. I was always taught that is was a neccessary evil. We didn't really want to do it, but we had to in order to protect our interests.

But now I am being set straight in my ways. First the Guardian tells us that the US is unfairly spying on members of the UN Security Council (with quotes from members of European intelligence agencies about how we're going about it). Now, I find this article on CNN.com where the North Koreans are accusing us of making espionage overfilghts using our U-2s, EP-3s and RC-135s. How dare we take such action!

Obviously the US is violating world opinion against US espionage activities (it's still ok for eveyone else). The President and his Cabinet, espeically Condolezza Rice, had better be careful. After all, European intelligence could steal some damning documents and prove once and for all that we were spying to gain an advantage.

I believe that the next great denouncement from the world will come when they discover that our army uses real bullets, not just blanks like in the movies.
