Today the AP wire i carrying the story, and most major US news outlets. They pretty much have to as it was a major topic of discussion today at the UN. As far as I can tell from my reading so far, we do not deny or confirm the spying. The general reaction at the UN is not outrage, but "This is par for the course, and we pretty much assume that you spy on us all the time."

More to the point is what sort of information are we spying for and what do we do with it once we get it. That and we're shitty hosts.
