U.S NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY ADMITS TO SPYING ALLEGATIONS

The United States National Security Agency has acknowledged that it intercepted private communications of some 35 world leaders. It is the first public acknowledgment of intercepting telephone communication of world leaders by the US Government since allegations from France,Germany and recently Spain. The calls were intercepted in December and January, according to documents leaked by former NSA contractor, Edward Snowden, Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote in El Mundo newspaper. European politicians have continued to express outrage over revelations of the US surveillance; a move most likely to affect bilateral relations. It turns out that President Barack Obama didn't know the United States was collecting communications of allied leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said . Moreover, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said in a statement that her panel was unaware of the sweeping intelligence effort and said that the White House had told her that such data collection "will not continue." Separately, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said late Monday that he was authorizing the release of more details about the government's collection of telephone records under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, in an effort to show the extent the spying program was overseen by a secret federal court and Congress. It is really going to be interesting to see how this all pans out…#WeWait
