This is not the first time that the USA has been accused of monitoring the 'phone calls of selected National Leaders !
Angela Merkel is fully justified to react angrily when she realised, or even thought that her 'phone conversations were being "tapped" ! Other leaders in South America (and who knows, elsewhere also perhaps) have been conveniently "fobbed off" up to now ! No admission, means no acceptance of any responsibility ! However one should not remain naïf. The USA is perhaps not quite so clean in the final analysis !
In the circumstances what this really means is that Leaders like Merkel must tighten-up their internal controls. How else can you fight eavesdropping spies armed with the latest techniques ! The activities of such spies will never be admitted ! Neither by the USA or Russia or any other country !
Merkel who comes from the former East Germany knows this better than most modern Leaders !
