At least six European Union
countries in addition to Britain have been colluding with the US over
the mass harvesting of personal communications data, according to a
former contractor to America's National Security Agency, who said the
public should not be "kept in the dark".
Wayne Madsen, a former US navy lieutenant who first worked for the NSA in 1985 and over the next 12 years held several sensitive positions within the agency, names Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain and Italy as having secret deals with the US.
