So long as it was our phones the Americans were bugging and our internet activities they were snooping on the politician's response was, "what has happened has damaged national security" and needed to be referred to a parliamentary select committee.

Now it turns out their phones were being monitored too, and suddenly, this "has raised 'deep concerns' among European citizens" and ""a lack of trust could prejudice the necessary cooperation in the field of intelligence-gathering."

So that's one kind of hypocrisy for them, and another for us.
