A
government's first job is to protect its citizens. But that should be based on
informed consent, not blind trust. Our cover leader in most of our editions
looks at the
surveillance programmes revealed by Edward Snowden: even allowing for the
need to keep some things clandestine, Americans, we argue, need a clearer idea
of what their spies are doing in their name. In Europe, however, we feature our
special report on Germany: the continent's "reluctant hegemon" should
now take a firmer lead in the euro zone".
