…and they would know, since they`re bugging everyone`s phones.

Earlier, Obama had been saying he didn`t know about spying but the latest report in the LA Times directly disputes that:

"The White House and State Department signed off on surveillance targeting phone conversations of friendly foreign leaders, current and former U.S. intelligence officials said Monday, pushing back against assertions that President Obama and his aides were unaware of the high-level eavesdropping.

Professional staff members at the National Security Agency and other U.S. intelligence agencies are angry, these officials say, believing the president has cast them adrift as he tries to distance himself from the disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that have strained ties with close allies."

More than an incredible whistleblower, Edward Snowden has proven himself to be a public relations genius. This one wasn`t his direct work but every time the administration denies something, it creates some other fiasco.
