Spying issues aren't restricted to the U.S.

it's interesting just how fast an investigation can get serious when the president is involved...



The navy yesterday closed down all its intelligence offices to scrutinize their work, as the government pledged to act with "severity" to investigate citizen spying activities in the navy.

A court investigation in the Patagonian province of Chubut discovered 26 folders gathered by navy intelligence agents containing information on citizens and targeting government officials, journalists, union leaders and politicians. It was reported last night that President NĂ©stor Kirchner was one of the targets of the spies.

The Argentine armed forces are banned by law from collecting intelligence information about citizens. Defence Minister Nilda Garré yesterday met with navy chief Jorge Godoy and ordered him to "deepen the investigations" and detect "the chain of command" in the illegal intelligence activities.

you just know that someone in argentina is saying, "well, the united states does it so why not us...?"
