Spanish PM summons US ambassador to explain NSA mass-surveillance of Spaniards

I am not actually American either, and speaking as a Brit, our young soldiers got roped into giving their lives and limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan too.

I’m just saying that it’s a bit hypocritical of prime minister Rajoy to be calling foul when his party is so massively corrupt (as is, sadly, the opposition too)

This is an opportunity for the Spanish government to once again distract attention from Spain’s property crash, 25% unemployment, and endemic traffic of influence/corruption. First it was the Olympic bid, then Gibraltar, then Catalan independence, and now this.

Make no mistake - the Spanish government is very happy this happened as it is an opportunity to hide behind self-righteous indignation
