[QUOTE]The National Security Agency eavesdropped on the Mexico government by systematically infiltrating an e-mail server and hacking the e-mail account of a former Mexico president, according to a classified documents reviewed by [URL="http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/nsa-hacked-email-account-of-mexican-president-a-928817.html"]Der Spiegel[/URL].
The e-mail domain, which was also used by other members of Mexico's cabinet, contained "diplomatic, economic and leadership communications which continue to provide insight into Mexico's political system and internal stability," according to a 2010 report provided to the German newspaper by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The hack of former president Felipe Calderon's e-mail was conducted by an agency department called Tailored Access Operations and proved to be "a lucrative source" of information, the newspaper said the documents revealed.
...during the summer of 2012, the foreign surveillance agency reviewed the cell phone communications of then-presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto and "nine of his close associates," according to a internal agency presentation reviewed by the newspaper. Software was used to identify the candidate's most relevant contacts, which were also singled out for surveillance.
In all, the agency intercepted 85,489 text messages, some of which were sent by Peña Nieto, who is Mexico's current president. The process "might find a needle in a haystack," the analysts noted, adding that it could be done "in a repeatable and efficient way."
The NSA declined to comment on the specific allegations included in the report.[/QUOTE]

Remember when posting things like late would get you banned?
so um...can the white house stop protecting the NSA already, it seems evident that they have gone rogue and are undermining all of our diplomatic relationships and have severely destroyed our credibility in the world
not defending this, but I imagine this is the kind of thing the NSA should be doing instead of monitoring US civilians.
