[...] The data was leaked from a Twitter account, since suspended, and included email addresses, phone numbers, photo IDs and other personal data on hundreds of senior political figures.

According to a government spokesperson, there was no “sensitive” data from the chancellor’s office, but other lawmakers had more personal data stolen. Other portions of the leaked data included Facebook and Twitter passwords. Some had their credit card information stolen, and chat logs and private letters published in the breach.

    She wouldn't allow Syrians into the country for humanitarian reasons.

    Sometimes, context isn't good enough. I read that as, "It would be inhumane to allow Syrians to immigrate into Germany, where they would be forced to live with Germans."

      There is no "American" beer. Some small craft beers might qualify, but none of the big names. Not by a wide margin. So, kids, please don't talk to grownups about the beer you have no knowledge of. For a first introduction of the subject, visit Mexico. Their beers are not at all bad. And it's _beer_, for starters!

      Americans being friendly is OK, actually. It's just when they are starting to liberate your country that you gotta be extra careful ...
