Sweden is the latest in a list of European countries that have discovered the the US has engaged in clandestine activities in their territory without receiving prior permission.
I may seem a bit naive or perhaps I have watched too many spy movies, but isn't this how secret intelligence agencies work? We don't tell people that we are there to "observe" activities of certain people. If we did tell them ahead of time I think that might just defeat the purpose. It is the job of intelligent countries to engage in spy activity that furthers the cause of that country and it is the job of the targeted countries to discover the activity and protect it's own interests.
Sorry Sweden, Italy, and other countries who never figured out what was going on. This is how the world works... and thanks for letting the rest of the world know that you are vulnerable.
On a completely separate note... I just learned that Sweden only has one "e".
