Der Ruf der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika in Europa und Lateinamerika ist so tief gesunken wie noch nie. Die nächsten NSA-Bespitzelungsskandale werden wahrscheinlich aus dem Mittleren Osten, Indien und Pakistan, Kanada, Südkorea und Japan kommen. An Obama wird man dereinst als an den denken, der die Welt noch mehr gegen die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika aufgebracht hat als sein Vorgänger George W. Bush – gewiss eine Leistung.

May 2011: Congress approves a four-year extension of the Act. Because President Obama is out of the country, he uses a mechanical autopen to sign off on the legislation – an historic first.

Using warrantless surveillance against terrorist suspect could set up High Court test
Last February, a sharply divided Supreme Court threw out an attempt by U.S. citizens to challenge the expansion of the surveillance law used to monitor conversations of foreign spies and terrorist suspects.
In a 5-4 vote, the court ruled that a group of American lawyers, journalists and organizations could not sue to challenge the 2008 expansion of the law because they could not prove that the government would monitor their conversations along with those of potential foreign terrorist and intelligence targets.

Anger over NSA surveillance heading to Washington streets

Gell Merkel, nicht lustig abgehört zu werden
Der Hosenanzug hat sich vehement gegen jede Aufklärung der Ausspähung durch den US-Geheimdienst NSA seit Beginn widersetzt und der für die Geheimdienste zuständige Kanzleramtsminister Ronald Pofalla erklärte selbstherrlich die NSA-Affäre im Sommer für beendet. Ich schrieb darauf hin den Artikel am 13. August „Hör zu Pofalla, nichts ist beendet“ und das hat sich nun bewahrheitet. Jetzt wo bekannt ist, das Handy von Merkel wurde von der NSA abgehört, ist Madam plötzlich ganz aus dem Häuschen und hat Obama gleich angerufen und sich bei ihm beschwert.

US, Pakistan Locked in a ‘Droning’ Marriage

Look who’s talking
So let’s grab a cup of green tea, as they do in Peshawar, and see who’s talking to whom. The Obama administration, following the Pentagon’s most ardent wishes, is praying to reach a security deal with Karzai – which would imply US “forces” on the ground.
