Are you a US citizen? How would you react if supposedly close US allies were bugging the White House, the US senate and AT&T? Repeatedly? Five Eyes, Echelon, Merkel, Belgacom, ...

I'm not a US citizen, but I presume that US allies which have the capability do unilaterally gather intelligence on the US.

Um.... you perhaps know less than you think you do about what "close US allies" do and do not engage in behind closed doors. Half of the reason Five Eyes even exists is to reduce the threat of espionage conducted by close allies.
