Revealed: 'Spain And France Spied On Their OWN Citizens' Phones And Handed Intelligence To The U.S. -- Daily Mail
* Gen. Keith Alexander, the National Security Agency director, says foreign governments spied on their own people and shared data with the U.S.
* The NSA had been accused of snooping on 130.5 million phone calls in France and Spain, and keeping computerized records
* Sen. Dianne Feinstein said newspapers in Europe "got it all wrong'
* Alexander's denial will fall heavily on the fugitive leaker Edward Snowden and his journalist cohorts, whom the NSA chief said 'did not understand what they were looking at'
The National Security Agency's director flatly denied as 'completely false' on Tuesday claims that U.S. intelligence agencies had monitored tens of millions of phone calls in France and Spain during a month-long period beginning in late 2012.
Gen. Keith Alexander contradicted the news reports that said his NSA had collected data about the calls and stored it as part of a wide-ranging surveillance program, saying that the journalists who wrote them misinterpreted documents stolen by the fugitive leaker Edward Snowden.
