A U.S. media report has made the fresh disclosure that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court gives the NSA the authority to spy on six political parties, including the Pakistan Peoples Party, as well as on the governments of 143 countries.
The U.S. should have learned a lesson from the Watergate scandal, which caused American President Nixon to lose his power. The U.S. has adopted a double standard. It is a crime to spy on any political party in America, but if America spies on other countries, no questions are asked.
According to secret documents, the U.S. security agency has permission to spy on six political parties, including the Pakistan Peoples Party, and on 143 countries. International organizations are also being spied upon. The U.S. should not allow so much leeway for its security agency; rather, it should grant other countries of the world the right to deal with their concerns.
Following disclosures by Edward Snowden, the spy who has taken refuge in Russia, affected countries and affected political parties should be knocking on the doors of the International Court of Justice and carrying out the fight for their rights. If these countries fail to take any direct action against the U.S. at this time, then their secret information will reach the U.S.; on the basis of this information, the U.S. will not only blackmail them, but could also cause them damage. America, also, should learn a lesson from the Watergate scandal and allow other sovereign countries the right of actions and maneuvers.
I feel like we are living in a world run by teenagers. All nations spy on each other since the beginning of time. Pakistan is no exception. You are a true hypocrite.
