I have been doing some reading on the EU's hissy fit over US "spying" on their embassies and citizens. The embassy spying sounds bad...but come on folks, get real. This has been going on at least since the days of horseback messengers when climbing over an embassy fence with a candle was high spy craft...and every single country in the world does it. There is no surer way to tell embassy row in a world-class city other than the buildings bristling with antennas of all shapes and sizes...and the fact you can't get a decent Wi-Fi signal within a mile or so without a black helicopter appearing overhead.
Spying on citizens is a bit more problematic, but to be honest the EU is the new hotbed of terrorism, particularly against the US and I hope the US government does NOT stop its vigilance. After all, if the EU is so peeved...maybe they should stop welcoming terrorist organizations with open arms.
