France-based telecom firm Orange has revealed plans to take legal action against the US National Security Agency (NSA) for using its submarine cable for surveillance.

An Orange spokeswoman was quoted by Reuters as saying: "We will take legal action in the next few days because we want to know more about the eventuality that Orange data may have been intercepted.

Although I would like to see this lawsuit in court I'm afraid that the US will simply ignore everything. Who knows, maybe they even label France as terrorist supporters and "free" them like they did Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya et al.
