Bye-Bye BlackBerry

Give them time, and the French will always find something new to retreat from in fear. This time--BlackBerry mobile devices:

French government defense experts...have advised against [BlackBerry] use by officials in France's corridors of power, reportedly to avoid snooping by U.S. intelligence agencies.

OK, so maybe they have a point: If the U.S. government continues to monitor the transactions of its own citizens, why would they suddenly respect the French's privacy? We may even be starting to develop a reputation in the world...

More reason on government spying here. Wiretapping here.
