Yep the article does mention "on the agenda will be the leaks of spying" so they are going to get a talking to about it.

A few years ago if you said that the American government is spying on you several my bb members would start making jokes about tinfoil hats and anti-American sentiment.

Strange how the only people shocked by Snowdens "reveal" were those with blinkers on in the first place.

Dubya and Zuma fascinate me.How developed countries with tons of intellectuals (America and South Africa) come to be led by total idiots with low IQ's is a strange side effect of democracy.

All those in attendance will get solid gold American flag lapel pins with the words "We protect America" underneath the hidden pinhole camera.
