That is how some NSA-type agencies work around the prohibition of spying on their own citizens: they have the agency of another country do it. I think some also just ignore the prohibition. The German BND has the "space theory", the idea that the data might have theoretically been transmitted by satellites, which makes it okay to intercept.

If you think every nation isn’t doing it to every other nation, constantly, I have a bridge to sell you (cheap!).

"Israel isn't doing it, but I'll find a way to accuse it of doing it anyway."

Wait until you find out what Americans are doing to everyone else on earth (and sometimes to themselves). Americans should sit down. Don’t talk about surveillance and spies as if Americans have never ever spied or used survilliance.

they might be doing it, we never know.
