(and by the way, note that the US-UK alliance has let them do 2-step tangos to let a foreign entity tap Americans so that Americans didn't have to do it. Blame the other guy is just one of the techniques at play here)</p> <p>Merkel's in deep shit in Germany - but isn't it because either they were deceived easily by Americans or complicit? So we think T-Mobile won't cooperate? They have 10% of the US market and just launched Apple iPhone and they haven't shown market growth since 2009 but now are growing, plus they've invested billions in their new LTE data net - they're desperate to succeed - the last thing they'll do is get in a war with US intelligence, no?</p> </div></div></div> Sun, 28 Jul 2013 19:34:21 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 182062 at http://dagblog.com
