News Europeans anger the US!

Looks like European Parliament finally stands up against the school-yard bully:

Quote:
The European Parliament has blocked a key agreement that allows the United States to monitor Europeans' bank transactions - angering Washington.
:butthurt:

Quote:
The US started accessing Swift data after the 11 September 2001 terror attacks on New York and Washington.

But the fact that the US was secretly accessing such data did not come to light until 2006.

Last week the Greens' home affairs expert, Jan Philipp Albrecht MEP, said that in backing the new deal the European Commission and EU governments had "not respected the fundamental criticism about the lack of sufficient protections with regard to privacy and the rule of law".
Well done!

Better watch out, EU, you've seen what we do to nations that anger us, and to nations that are trivially connected to people that anger us.

It sounds to me like Europe needs a shipment of freedom and liberty.

And a boat load of Freedon Fries and Freedom Toast. That will show them.

And when we roll out Bill O'Reilly saying something stupid they'll beg us for mercy.

This after we saved their asses in W W eye eye!
