Did you see the BOUNDLESSINFORMANT map? Did you hear about the
statements by various members of the Dutch government about using PRISM?
Is there a reason to think that OHM is exempt from NSA dragnet
surveillance and that AiVD will never query the NSA database for such
information?

I find it a bit hard to imagine being so certain about what spy agencies
*aren't* doing.
Did you feel certain that there was also {an or no} NSA program spying
on the Netherlands? Or perhaps just as certain that AiVD used and
continues to use the data gleaned from that system (of systems)?
I wouldn't be so sure about AiVD/MiVD having deployed or not having
deployed a nationwide eavesdropping setup. Furthermore, if they get to
query the NSA database, I'd hardly say that it matters if they deployed
it. Though I'm sure they helped when requested. In any case, what
matters to the Big Picture is that they take what they need, what or are
able to get from such a system.

I'd say it is essentially the same story at a different scale. Though
with GSM, we've had trouble denying it for quite some time. I suppose it
will take time to come to terms with the latest news.
All the best,
Jacob
