Hypocrisy Over Russian Spying

I found the hypocrisy behind this BBC Article a bit too much. Apparently it is a huge problem that Russian hackers were able to access White House computer system last year and were able to read President Obama's unclassified emails.

Well, what goes around, comes around, as they say. If you think it OK for the NSA (in cahoots with UK and Australian government agencies) to spy on foreign governments, organisations and individuals, and even (in contravention of US law) on US citizens, then I guess it must be OK to be spied on in return.

The USA needs to clean up their act, and demonstrate that they have done so, before that "holier than thou" attitude is going to fly.
