Don't be so naive.
You are willingly ignoring the fact that the NSA is a foreign intelligence service in Europe.
I do not deny that countries have intelligence services which collect data on it`s population and I certainly do not doubt that the French intelligence services are gathering information on their own citizens.
Yet the French are not giving the NSA a free card on spying on French citizens let alone helping to sabotage the efforts of the press to uncover such actions.
My point being: France is not giving up it`s sovereignty and it`s citizens rights to be fucked arround with by the NSA with the consent of the French goverment.
