For Europeans, scolding the Bush administration for everything from
Guantanamo to the Iraq War to secret CIA prisons has become a full-time
job. But when it comes to the American scandal over President Bush's
warrantless wiretaps, there's been a curious reaction from the other side
of the Atlantic: silence. Where is the European outrage?

European restraint may arise from a fear of hypocrisy. The fact is that in
much of Europe wiretapping is de rigueur-practiced more regularly and with
less oversight than in the United States. Most Europeans either don't know
about this or, more likely, simply don't care.
