美國政府為其在歐洲的情報收集項目辯護，但承認可能必須改變方法了。白宮發言人卡尼稱監控專案維護了美國及其盟友的安全，他承認最近的披露引發了外交緊張局面，但他說監控並非用來追求美國的經濟利益。
如果我們將維護公民和盟國的安全，我們必須繼續保持領先地位，我們的情報部門在這方面做得相當好。同時，我們承認需要就如何收集和使用情報採取額外的限制措施。

The United States government has defended its intelligence gathering program in Europe but had acknowledged that they may have to change methods. The White House Spokesman Jay Carney said surveillance help keep Americans and their allies safe. He admitted that recent disclosures have caused diplomatic tension, but said the intelligence was not used to promote the economic interests of the US.
If we're going to keep our citizens and our allies safe, we have to continue to stay ahead of these changes, and that's what our intelligence community has been doing extraordinarily well. At the same time, with new capabilities we recognize that there need to be additional constraints on how we gather and use intelligence.
The British Prime Minister David Cameron has said the government may act to stop newspapers publishing further leaks from the fugitive US intelligence analyst Edward Snowden. Mr. Cameron was speaking in parliament. Our British political correspondent Rob Watson has more.
This is the toughest line yet from the Prime Minister, David Cameron urged the Guardian and other newspapers to use what he called common sense and good judgements but warned that if not, the government might have to step in.
I don't want to have to use injunctions or D notices or the other tougher measures. I think it's much better to appeal to the newspapers' sense of social responsibility. But if they don't demonstrate some social responsibility, it would be very difficult for government to stand back and not to act.
D notices are issued to newspaper editors and broadcasters requesting them not to publish or air stories on specific subjects for reasons of national security. Rob Watson.
