Deirdre Fulton — NSA Surrounded Merkel in 'Web of Surveillance': WikiLeaks

Spy target list includes not only confidential numbers for Merkel, but also for her top officials, her aides, her chief of staff, and even her fax machine.…
New documents published Wednesday by WikiLeaks show that the U.S. National Security Agency “explicitly targeted for long-term surveillance 125 phone numbers for top German officials and did so for political and economic reasons.”…
“The intensive nature of US targeting around the Chancellor explains why the White House could easily commit to not targeting Angela Merkel personally in the future, but continues to refuse to make such a commitment for other members of the German government,” the WikiLeaks statement continues. After all, it notes, “the Chancellor cannot run the government by talking to herself.”
