Former Mexican President's Email Account Hacked by US by Bob Cummins

     Recently, it was discovered by Edward Snowden, who hacked secret government information and leaked it to the public, that the a United States organization had hacked and had insight into former Mexican president, Pelipe Calderon's emails.  Der Spiegel, a German news magazine reported that a document leaked by Snowden said that this "top secret" organization hacked into something that gave them some insight about "Mexico's political system and internal stability".  The Mexican government, aided by the spokesperson of the Mexican Embassy, said that the surveillance was "unacceptable, unlawful and contrary to Mexican law and international law."  Snowden is currently wanted by the U.S. for hacking government information.

     This was stupid and unlawful for this organization to hack into this president's email account.  What's next, the government recording our phone calls? *wink wink*   If the government hacked into a citizen's email, or an American government official's email, then it would be all over the news.  It would be a huge deal.  For some reason, though, the media isn't blowing up over this unlawful act committed by our own government.  I think that Snowden was getting himself into deep trouble when he leaked this info, and I think that he knew it himself as well.  He is wanted for hacking this information, but how can the government explain (or get out of) this one?
