The cache of documents revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden disclosed that the U.S. used surveillance methods to monitor the emails and phone calls of its closest foreign allies including Germany, France and Brazil. The revelations have severely damaged the U.S.'s relationship with these countries even though State Department officials have insisted that these surveillance programs have thwarted many terrorist threats worldwide.
No, spying on our allies means we in ourselves, are not allies they can trust themselves. Also, it's the individual countries' responsibility to monitor their own subjects.
Yes, but decrease the level at which we use surveillance of our allies
Yes and surveillance all countries and abolish the NSA fbi Cia atf
No and abolish the NSA fbi Cia atf
Yes,as long as the allies in question have knowledge of this and agree with it.
Ban the fbi from giving out false statistics
Yes we should keep doing this so that we know about any nuclear advances before its too late.
I am uneducated on the matter to answer.
Monitoring and observing is important to global security
No, only in suspected terrorist cases
Spying on those with illegal or unethical connections. Without reason, no spying.
I don’t have enough knowledge/information to make a decision.
Everyone does it and we'll be disadvantaged if we dont
Yes, but only with their permission and support.
Yes, as long as our allies can do the same
Sure.... But we should expect the same to be done to us
The U.S. and its allies should be transparent with the information they gather through surveillance.
Yes, but only if there is valid cause to do so
Yes, but we have to let the countries know what is happening and we have to have their permission.
if they seem suspicious, than yes
Yes, it both countries are fine with it
Yes, but ONLY if we have a reasonable belief of a terroristic threat
Are they are allies as in friends and trustworthy or allies because of fellow interests.
only with good reason
the possibility should always be there but until there is proof of terrorism threats it should not be used.
Still have much to learn regarding this subject matter
I think it's best to discuss this with our allies before making the decision individually.
Yes, but far more carefully now that the cat is out of the bag
No, because we should trust our allies.
Yes, but as discreetly as possible.
No, but allies should agree to the same.
No. If we are surveying our allies, are they really allies?
Yes, but it depends on how it's used.
Yes, but the NSA is corrupt and ineffective and needs to be reformed.
Don't have enough info for an informed opinion
Yes, and don't get caught doing so
Only if there is probable cause of suspected terrorist activity
Yes, because our allies likely have similar programs for surveilling us
Yes, with permission from the countries in question
Work together with allies.
This question doesnt specify who we were spying on in those countries like if we were spying on government officials and found nothing that's a problem but if it's just people that may be fine.
Yes, but this should only occur when we feel there is an actual threat to our country.
yes on all allies outside five eyes.
I dont feel we should but I understand why we do
Yes but only with cause
Yes, but only if information that has already been put out there leads to world domination or very high suspicion or a group or individual
Surveillance of our allies should only be surveillance of allied country population, not of their government, though I assume everyone is surveilling everyone at this point so the question seems moot.
No unless something changes where they stop acting as allies
If they do and they can’t be upset one other nation Spy on us
