This seems to me a MUCH MORE IMPORTANT matter than whether or not the UK is the poodle of the USA. I think they are, but what does it matter? The issue is a DISTRACTION. Why aren't we asking, DID the NSA or one its 'private contractors' snoop on President Obama?
I think we're looking at a sort of Mega-MIC that controls the leaders of both countries, as well as agencies, militaries, parliamentarians/congresspeople and judges. A Mega--or is it Meta?--"military-industrial complex" with spying power over EVERYBODY including the people who are allegedly their civilian commanders. Yes, meta-. The meta-military-industrial complex--our actual rulers. I mean a very powerful cabal that supersedes both countries' governments and of course both peoples. Neither we nor the British people have any say, any more, on war, torture, spying, drone murders, our economies, our civil and human rights, or our reputations in the world. Our leaders seem deaf to us. Is it because this Meta-MIC is spying on THEM (among other controls)?
It may be completely irrelevant to react to these mega-spying revelations as if they were an attack on Obama, in an effort to defend him politically--for instance, in this case, making specious distinctions between the US and UK governments on a matter such as David Miranda's detention which is so obviously a joint concern of two governments that worked hand in glove to invade Iraq and have been working hand in glove to control Mideast oil for about a hundred years. This is NOT a political matter, is what I'm saying. It's much bigger than the puppet theater that our politics has become. It has to do with WHO is REALLY in charge.
