We all know that governments spy on each other - they have for decades.  The NSA is engaging in widespread eavesdropping into the private conversations of everyone, from heads of state to every person who has access to a cell phone.  No one is beyond monitoring, and our allies are not pleased with how our government is treating them.  America is alienating its allies.  We are becoming more and more isolated as these egregious actions are coming to light.  These activities are jeopardizing our national security as well as our trade and economic relationships with other countries.
