"German language magazine 'Bild am Sonntag' reports that, in response to Obama's recent order to stop spying on Angela Merkel and other heads of 'friendly' states, the NSA has instead ramped up spying on everybody Merkel communicates with. Cory Doctorow points out that this action demonstrates that the NSA is out of control and deliberately disobeying a presidential order with a level of duplicity worthy of a four year-old."

    I think the NSA are still trying to find Merkel's secret currywurst recipe, they were thwarted when snowden came out with his damning report of thier direct search and are now looking at other options.

    Rumor has it the NSA have bugged her personal chef in the hopes he divulges the recipe. Obama is not happy with the US wurst and expects results soon.
