Spy Tussle

It's worth sitting through Salon's "day pass" ad to read Jake Tapper's article on the brouhaha over reports of U.S. spying at the United Nations. It's a great piece of media/political reporting, and an alarming demonstration of the distance between what's big news here and what gets attention overseas. (And this time "overseas" really does refer to a generous sampling of the rest of the world.)
