No we are not. But the difference between Germany and many other
countries is the outrage and debate such information creates in the
country. In the Netherlands when these kinds of things happen everyone
just says: 'but I have nothing to hide'.

Government assholes can be found in any country. It's how the
population responds that makes the difference. When Govenor Bush took
power in 2000 almost no-one protested. That was a big mistake. 'Drive
it like you stole it' says the bumpersticker. And the Bush team did.

I'm not saying everything is fine in Deutschland. Compared to any
other western countries the population is just much more aware of the
importance to say: stop! to their government every now and then.
German churches still bear marks from bombs and bullets to remind them
what ultimately happens when they don't.
