By now all have heard of the whistle blower exposing the NSA capturing all sorts of communications traffic. The latest is the United States and Great Britain didn't stop there, they have been spying at the G-20 meeting, filled with the highest echelons of economic and financial officials.

Rockefeller IV, July 12
