just because YOUR law might not have been broken, it doesn't mean OUR laws were not broken.

and even if some people might disagree but for us our laws mean something and are not inferior to your laws.

the other thing to consider is how obama is reacting/responding to the reveal. i am not posting this as a "if you do, we can too" example, i am posting it to suggest that it makes sense that germany is also snooping on usa and this entire thing can blow up into a big deal or more likely, all nations involved will decide it's better to drop it or the whole thing will turn into a massive shit storm for all nations involved.

"The United States government will respond appropriately to the European Union through our diplomatic channels, and through the EU/U.S. experts' dialogue on intelligence that the U.S. proposed several weeks ago," the DNI office said in a statement. "We will also discuss these issues bilaterally with EU member states. While we are not going to comment publicly on specific alleged intelligence activities, as a matter of policy, we have made clear that the United States gathers foreign intelligence of the type gathered by all nations."
