The truth is the first casualty of war.

And make no mistake, this is a propaganda war of immense proportion. Germany will discuss with the US what should be their next strategy. They will talk today. France will do or say anything to maintain their facade of independence from the rest of the world. Putin will be as deceptive as ever. The nations in South America still have memories of American imperialism. Everyone else is angry the US spied on them. The US will try to keep everyone focused on Edward Smowden instead of the big picture. So we should take with a grain of salt many of these declarations from countries involved in this spying scandal.
