+Title: How does it feel to be wiretapped, when you should be doing the wiretapping...

+<p>So the new president in the United States of America claim to be
+surprised to discover that he was wiretapped during the election
+before he was elected president.  He even claim this must be illegal.
+Well, doh, if it is one thing the confirmations from Snowden
+documented, it is that the entire population in USA is wiretapped, one
+way or another.  Of course the president candidates were wiretapped,
+alongside the senators, judges and the rest of the people in USA.</p>
+
+<p>Next, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ask the Department of
+Justice to go public rejecting the claims that Donald Trump was
+wiretapped illegally.  I fail to see the relevance, given that I am
+sure the surveillance industry in USA according to themselves believe
+they have all the legal backing they need to conduct mass surveillance
+on the entire world.</p>
+
+<p>There is even the director of the FBI stating that he never saw an
+order requesting wiretapping of Donald Trump.  That is not very
+surprising, given how the FISA court work, with all its activity being
+secret.  Perhaps he only heard about it?</p>
+
+<p>What I find most sad in this story is how Norwegian journalists
+present it.  In a news reports the other day in the radio from the
+Norwegian National broadcasting Company (NRK), I heard the journalist
+claim that 'the FBI denies any wiretapping', while the reality is that
+'the FBI denies any illegal wiretapping'.  There is a fundamental and
+important difference, and it make me sad that the journalists are
+unable to grasp it.</p>
