Default OT - Oh, boy! This could get really ugly.

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.

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.
