A german newspaper reported today that documents released by former NSA employee Edward Snowdon apparantly show that the NSA broke the video conferencing encryption code used in the UN Headquarters in New York so that they could wiretap conversations of diplomats in the UN building.

Apparantly, the NSA wiretapped the video conference calls of the European Union's representative at the UN.

NSA bugged UN headquarters, New York City, claim documents released by Ed Snowden | Mail Online

If it's true, this is really gonna give the US a bad name. At the end of WWII, the US made a lot of concessions to Russia to locate the UN building in the USA, and now, no one is going to trust the USA NOT to try to wiretap their communications if the UN building is on American soil.

And they found out that China IS doing the same exact thing, at the
same exact time. Don't miss the point.

The UN should be de-funded by America, that pays for the largest part
of the bill.

The UN can kiss my dog's buttock.

And this is news? That's been precisely the job of the NSA and it's
predecessors since WWII. And most of the other govts around the
world have intelligence agencies doing the same thing.

Of course, the skunk Snowden keeps releasing whatever he feels
like, even though much of it, like this, has nothing to do with
the NSA spying on Americans, no constitutional issues, nada.
This is just the NSA doing it's job and the traitor Snowden out
to try to do as much damage to the US as possible.

If the UN countries want to move that whole operation somewhere
else, fine by me.
