“Angela Merkel’s government said on Monday that its cooperation with American intelligence was fully regulated by strict legal guidelines after a magazine reported that the U.S. National Security Agency was in close cahoots with German spies. Germany’s opposition demanded that her government explain how much it knew about U.S. surveillance tactics ahead of talks with Washington about the NSA. Der Spiegel’s report that the NSA works with Germany and other Western states on a ‘no questions asked’-basis undermines the chancellor’s indignant talk of ‘Cold War’ tactics revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.”
