Thread Name: BS: The NSA Scandal/Snowden
Subject: RE: BS: The NSA Scandal
Skarpi, I doubt very seriously that NSA is doing much spying on Iceland. It is not exactly known as a hotbed of terrorism, whereas many areas of the Middle East most certainly are. And there is the possibility of domestic terrorism right there in the U. S., for example, the bombings at the Boston Marathon.

You are seriously overreacting to the idea that the NSA is interested in YOUR personal communications.

ANY country—and that includes Iceland—has the right, indeed, the obligation, to attempt to keep its citizens safe from terrorist attacks.

If Iceland felt itself in serious danger of being the target of terrorist attacks, would you expect anything less of your government?
