Remember last week when Hillary said she would never seek elected office again?

I suppose she had access to what was leaked. Spying on the UN and abetting the Honduran coup, once publicized, would put a dent in running, no?

1. Like most muricans would notice

And spying on the world government will earn her props in certain areas.

No, I mean this, no sarcasm needed.

This will be big here, 'round the water cooler I sincerely doubt it.

2. These leaks reinforce what we have long suspected.

A small group of elites get to play with the lives of the people of this planet like a cat with a toy. Life is cheap and laws don't exist for the club at the top.

7. Exactly, they fucking use us. We're numbers, not people.

They use us, they use foreigners, and fuck, they use each other. They're users and we need to recognize that.

3. I doubt it. This spying was going on for years. And seriously, who cares?

Was anyone under the impression the US doesn't spy on the UN (or that all other nations' UN delegations aren't engaged in spying?

14. More than years, centuries.

Diplomats have also been spies as long as diplomats have existed. Once upon a time it was usual for the ambassador to be the one creating intrigue in the foreign courts to which he was assigned.

Yes, the US spies on all of our allies. And all of our allies spy on the US too, to whatever extent they're able. If that surprises ANYONE, then they need to go back and reread some history. Being "allies" doesn't mean any nation neglects it's own self interest, including trying to make sure they come off the best in any negotiations, and know exactly what to expect out of other countries.

15. Yeah, she's real scared of the gossip.

I LOVE snide, wishy-washy, half-assed accusations.
