Thanks to Edward Snowden, we know that the NSA spied on then-President Dmitry Medvedev during his visit to Britain for the G20 summit in London in 2009.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you!, that the NSA would spy on the leader of a foreign country.

Indeed. That strikes me as an example of the NSA doing its job, as opposed to the warrantless mass surveillance it has also been caught doing.

The Russian people deserve to know when their privacy is so seriously threatened by an unaccountable foreign intelligence organization.

That's rich.

As one of these Russian people, I'm more threatened by my own, completely unaccountable, government that does everything in its power to severely restrict rights and freedoms of our people.

Also I'm pretty sure Putin had way more interesting things to do than read this letter.

Grue3, It's just your opinion, please don't speak from all people. You need to confirm your words otherwise it's your parallel reality.

I'm not sure how you were able to interpret my post as speaking "from all people". Pretty sure "I" is a first person singular pronoun. And I'm usually the first person to call out people who pretend to speak for their country or their ethnicity.

Getting tried of this theatre. (Great casting, btw, and congrats for having so effectively mapped out the psychological buttons of the subject classes.)

Wouldn't it make more sense to have written the letter in Russian? (and link a translation for the rest of the world).
