Merkel denied access to own NSA file

US spy bosses have ignored a request from Chancellor Angela Merkel to look at her secret service file, according to reports on Wednesday. It came as the chairman of the committee investigating NSA spying in Germany resigned.


Germany's interior ministry reportedly approached the United States’ National Security Agency (NSA) last October to ask for the file’s content, amid revelations the NSA had been tapping the chancellor’s mobile phone.

But in a written response to parliamentary questions from the Green Party, the German government said: "The United States has not revealed the relevant information to the German government."

Green Party foreign policy spokesman Omid Nouripour wanted to know whether the chancellor had requested access to the documents produced by the NSA while they were spying on her phone, whether the US government has revealed details about the transcripts and whether Merkel was considering pushing for the files to be destroyed.

The German government did not respond to the question of whether it had asked for the files to be destroyed, but it had received no answer for its request to see the file, the Sächsische Zeitung reported on Wednesday.

1. Couple of points...

The file on merkel probably goes back to when she was goose stepping with the east german communist army. The same army that was concurrently shooting those yearning to be free.



Further she's not a party to the 5 eyes plus Israel nod nod wink wink agreements.

She's a foreigner and exactly the people we should be targeting. The problem with the NSA is not the surveillance of foreigners, it's the surveillance of Americans in violation of the constitution.

Merkel ...booo hooo.
