Snowden Document Shows Canada Set Up Spy Posts For NSA 177
An anonymous reader writes with news that even Canada is getting its hands dirty in the international dragnet fiasco. From the article: "The leaked NSA document being reported exclusively by CBC News reveals Canada is involved with the huge American intelligence agency in clandestine surveillance activities in 'approximately 20 high-priority countries.' ... Wesley Wark, a Canadian security and intelligence expert at the University of Ottawa, says the document makes it clear Canada can take advantage of its relatively benign image internationally to covertly amass a vast amount of information abroad. 'I think we still trade on a degree of an international brand as an innocent partner in the international sphere,' Wark said. 'There's not that much known about Canadian intelligence.'"

Then what would you call it?
Covert Operation Collecting Knowledge, or COCK for short? Which clearly would not be the same as spying.

Mr. McMohammed is the only Scottish Muslim in Afghanistan, so it shouldn't be hard to track him down.
