Quite probably, especially at the UN and between countries other than the US if the level of spying is to be believed.
Diplomats won't be surprised at "the level of spying". Not at all. It's not spying. It's called fucking diplomacy. It's what diplomats fucking do. For every country on the globe. They engage with other diplomats then report back to their government their unvarnished views on their interactions so their governments can make judgments on how to engage with those other countries.

Fuck sakes, is it really that hard to understand?

I'm talking about Hilary Clinton's instructions to spy on allies and enemies alike, bug calls, gather passwords, biometric data and so on.

Its not normal diplomacy, if it were the US wouldn't expect their diplomatic cables would remain secret.

And no its not standard practice for allies to spy on each other.

Yes. It is.

Why do you think diplomatic pouches aren't allowed to be searched?

Other nations' diplomatic cables are secret, as well.

So in the last hundred years or so, you can't find a single example, while the US is spying on anyone and everyone (and Israel is merrily spying on its only ally - the US).

Why don't you request that your government unclassify it's diplomatic cables then? I'm sure everything is on the up and up.

What is it you think diplomacy is? Making nice and chatting over tea? That's maybe 1/10th of it.

Normal diplomatic activity includes intelligence gathering.

It does not include bugging phones, stealing encryption keys etc, that is spying.
