US government declares hacking an act of war, then hacks allies | WashingtonExaminer.com

Revelations from European leaders on Monday that the National Security Agency bugged European Union offices in Washington and hacked into its computer network bring to light hypocrisy on the part of the U.S. government.

In 2011, the Pentagon released its first formal cyber strategy, which called computer hacking from other nations an "act of war," according to the Wall Street Journal. In late June of this year, WSJ reported that Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, released information alleging the U.S. government was hacking Chinese targets "that include the nation's mobile-phone companies and one of the country's most prestigious universities."

Now that EU offices have been hacked by the U.S. government as well, one must wonder if that was an "act of war" on the part of the United States.

When a country is as strong as the US and is the only super power in the world, whatever she says becomes law.

Mother of Hypocrisy!

Hacking their own allies means lack of trust in them or simply a demonstration of "Big Brother".

Act of war, my ass - No one is going to speak out against the US. UN is still under partial control from the US, in the sense that everyone listens to it and it is a permanent member of the SC.

One wonders, really, if the rest of the West really has a mouth, they seem to let the US do the talking for them.

Pity.
