Denmark is part of the inner circle of the NSA cooperation

[Butterfish]

Denmark is a part of the inner circles of cooperation with the NSA. According to documents from the former NSA employees Edward Snowden , as the British newspaper The Guardian has seen.

 

The cooperation , as Denmark is a part of, is called "The 9-eye" , and the level of cooperation is the second highest and ranks Denmark over a number of key European allies .

 

In the past week, the focus of the NSA scandal was the cooperation between the United States and various European intelligence services - the content of both Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Minister of Justice Morten Bødskov has refused to comment on .

 

The new revelations about the structure of intelligence cooperation , the U.S. intelligence services located at the top is led by NSA.

The next step is the English speaking countries , Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand which is "The 5 -eye". This designation is according to Canadian research document an abbreviation of "AUS / CAN / NZ / UK / U.S. EYES ONLY" and is also about which countries may see certain classified information. The five countries have since the conclusion of the UKUSA Agreement in 1946 had a special , close cooperation with the United States , and Snowden documents have previously revealed how the U.S. directly fund parts of the British intelligence service GCHQ.

 

I previously asked a question about the NSA and how it affects people. I live in Denmark and never thought NSA would be an issue here, but i guess i was more than wrong. This was in the news this morning. What are your thoughts of this?

This exact same article is on the front page of vg.no, except the angle is Norway is blah blah. Both Denmark and Norway are in this "9-eye" and the other 2 big allies that are not part of the 5-eye but are part of the 9-eye is Switzerland and France.

 

This is just "name USA's top 10 allies" nothing more.
