Why? Everyone knows (or at least assumes) The US is spying on european governments, companies, and of course the EU.

Because of what I said.
Everyone spies on everyone, during a war though you shouldn't be stupid enough to get caught spying on your closest allySpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

This reminds me of the bugs found in the State Department a couple of years ago. Don't think the retaliation amounted to anything, since I can't even remember who did it.
Yeh, we prosecute Israeli spies more than anybody else, nowadays.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I would have thought that spying on allies is restricted to commercial stuff. I would guess that military stuff is shared anyway. If a CIA/MI6 agent spied on a friendly government when it is cleraly going to embarrass everyone it would be hushed up.Space is big.

So whaaaaaaaat?! Why would it not be the US? They have every reason to bug phones. To get that info what the French etc are up to. And for other purposes too. I'm 100% sure we do it too. Maybe not bug US phones in those buildings, but spying in other places. Of course we spy each other. We just do it in good understanding, so we don't go crazy if someone gets caught.
The only thing that would indicate someone else than the US would be that it has now become public. I'd think they would just remove those bugs and call them 'damn you' and the US would reply 'sorry mate' and back to work. They spy, we spy...In da butt.

It seems possible that Russia could also be the culprit (is that what you were saying, Roland, or were you talking about the State Dept bugging?). Aren't Russia and the EU in talks on a range of trade-related and other issues?

I would think the EU's internal security is bollocks, so it could be anyone, including a provate company who could then sell on info to the highest bidderSpace is big.
