Hi Ambassador,

Thank you for doing the AMA. To what extent have the recent recent revelations from data leaks (Snowden, Manning) changed how host countries interact with US representatives? Do you perceive a greater reluctance to share information or a fear of eavesdropping?

Thank you for answering. As a European it's difficult to trust that the President's review will lead to intelligence arrangements appropriate to countries sharing a friendly relationship when both the terms and the outcome of that review are secret. I'm sure you've heard the same from the substantive discussions you have with citizens of your host countries.
