Japan Refused To Help NSA Tap Asia's Internet

An anonymous reader writes "The NSA sought the Japanese government's cooperation to wiretap fiber-optic cables carrying phone and data across the Asia-Pacific region but the request was rejected. The NSA wanted to intercept personal information including Internet activity and phone calls passing through Japan from Asia including China. The Japanese government refused because it was illegal and would need to involve a massive number of private sector workers. Article 35 of the Japanese Constitution protects against illegal search and seizure."

Why don't we just put O'mama on a "tour of shame"?
It will keep him busy humbly apologizing, in person, to foreign powers and he won't have time to be such a moron and continue to turn everything he touches to shit.
Some humility from a disgraced eunuch could go a long ways toward re-opening diplomatic ties. Screw Obama, he's expendible.
