The Guardian's GCHQ expose is already causing a political firestorm in Britain and elsewhere. Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander called on the House of Commons Intelligence and Security Committee to exercise closer oversight of the GCHQ and other intelligence agencies. "These latest reports reinforce the urgency and importance of the ISC's work on this issue," he said. Germany's Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger called the allegations in the Guardian reports a "Hollywood nightmare," and said "If these accusations are correct, this would be a catastrophe." "The accusations make it sound as if George Orwell's surveillance society has become reality in Great Britain," leading German opposition MP Thomas Oppermann was quoted by Reuters as saying. "This is unbearable... the government must clarify these accusations and act against a total surveillance of German citizens." No reaction to the Guardian story has yet been seen from the U.S., but as one observer put it, this morning, the US Congress now has to assume that they're being wiretapped. They've been assured that they aren't, but the GCHQ story is more evidence that those assurances are lies.
