Yeah, one wonders what you are trying to say here.
Fact is that the US, and also Russia and China don't really care what other countries say. The other countries will put up with everything out of simple fear for the US, Russia and China's military strength and general non-trustability.
We all know the NSA etc don't use the info for anti terrorist work but just to strengthen the power base of the US. Positive thing for us in Europe is that it is better to be friends with the US than with the other two.
added laters:
a few hours after I wrote this I read an interview with Ray McGovern basically saying the same things. With the difference that he knows what he is talking about. The NSA spying has nothing to do with national security but it is 100 % economical and about power. Normal citizens are robbed of their privacy while potential terrorists (like the Boston bombers and one of the Nairobi attackers) are left alone. But maybe it is not intentional....maybe the US only believes intelligence from their own NSA and CIA and don't want to do anything with information from other countries that is just handed to them.
