As a former spy myownfineself ... I can guaran-damn-tee you that EVERY dang country on earth, that's worth a hill of beans, is spying on each other. It doesn't matter ... enemies spy on each other and allies spy on each other. Our embassies in foreign countries are mini spy stations and foreign embassies in our own country are most certainly spy stations. It's the way the world works. The U.S. spied on it's citizens AND enemies during WWI and it got even heavier in the 40's, also with our own government spying on our own citizens. (Projects SHAMROCK and MINARET for example) Sure, those programs were pretty much a necessary evil during wartime, but it continued through to the mid-70's! But those programs were simply replaced with others. Of course, spying on other nations is pretty much a given and is a fulltime job of most any government.
