As I said when this story broke both parties are involved and there is no way they could have pulled it off without active BTC cooperation no matter what they say. They lie because they think there is no evidence and they will not be caught. What they are ignorant about is that at this age it is nearly impossible to completely purge electronic evidence. Given an independent private digital forensic company the task of investigating this they would dig up dirt 100%. Of course it is in both parties' interest to bury this as soon and as deep as possible and so nothing will come off it.

Okay, now the PLP is the elected Government, so what you going to do about it?

What can they do? The US has been spying on everyone since the Cold War.

This pathetic little poodle Davis, like lame brain Mitchell, fails to appreciate that every single contract the Bahamas has negotiated with the U.S. Government and any U.S. State Government, including their agencies and departments, over the past several years are now void ab initio as a result of the not unreasonable presumption that the interests of the Bahamas in the negotiations were prejudiced by information illegally obtained by the NSA and passed on (in the interest of the U.S.) to the U.S. connected party(ies) involved in the contracts signed with the Bahamas. This would include all of the contracts the Bahamas has signed with international lending agencies controlled for all intents and purposes by the U.S. Government, e.g. the IMF, the World Bank, the International Development Bank (IDB) and so on that the Bahamas contracted with to obtain loans!

It would have impossible for the Bahamas Government to protect its interests in any contractual negotiations with a U.S. connected enterprise (government or otherwise) over the past several years as a result of NSA's illegal spying activities. Yes, every single contract would be ruled void ab initio on a presumptive basis by any international court or tribunal and its high time the Bahamas asserted its rights in a meaningful manner by having the likes of Mitchell and Davis step aside as they will never have the ability to see the forest for the sake of trees.

Instead of using this disclosure as a way to discuss citizen's privacy, a FOI law, and the role of surveillance in our personal lives (let's not forget the proliferation of CCTV cameras in Nassau's core), we again resort to petty politics.

How dis-ingenuous of bwave. If the previous government knew I am sure that information was passed on during the turn over of the gov. I am sure the COP would have known and he is still in that post. They love to drop these little snide remarks hoping to distract. I will bet you wont see any report from the gov.

Perry, Brave, BJ, Fred, Brad and the rest of the PLP Old Guard ......................... please stop torturing ordinary, sensible Bahamians ............... ur old school tricks are pathetically outdated

Agreed. Once again... playing the blame game.

One would be lead to understand that this article could strain relationship with the US. Please be reminded that we need the help to protect our borders. Why worry if we have nothing to hide. It is obvious that we have a very worried bunch. Sit tight , there is a lot of thing that may come out of this , i hope the folks we a ready for what is revealed !

The THREE largest challenges we have......... illegal human smuggling, drug smuggling and poaching .......... begin and end with the involvement of Americans (one way or another). They are complicit in our dilemma.......... we are just the piggies in the middle. So of course, we will be spied on by Americans ......... DUHHHHHHHH

Clearly, you have missed the point. This activity is "illegal."

So if NSA was spying, what did they do with the information? Can it help us deter crime, or are they listening for the dirty talk.

Brave's probably shakin' in his boots, worrying about the potential dirt they may have on him and his cronies...

Now why did you have to go and say that!!!!!! ...... LOL

Comrades DPM "Brave" and opposition leader Minnis and his bunch of "self-anointed red co-leaders" need to stop with their silly political spy games. Both Comrades done know the US government ain't in the business of asking any foreign government for permission to have listened-in on virtually EVERY type mobile devices conversation talked on Bahamaland's land, air or at sea, including his, the PM's and Minnis and red company. Them listening-on on doctors, taxi drivers, pilots, particularly them lawyers, accountants, drug dealers, MP's, senators, policeman's, civil servants, judges, consultants to government, business owners-big and small, bankers and financial advisers.

This and previous government so like to place blame. My thing is they are now in power what are they going to do about it?

I totally agree with TalRussell on this one. Anyone with any sense would know that any spying would be done with those known or suspected for doing any wrongdoings. Not the whole of the Bahamas. I think Brave and the rest should have gotten their facts straight before stirring up controversy with the public and needs to let it rest.
