NSA denies agency chief discussed Merkel operation with Obama in 2010
By CNN's Kevin Liptak
The NSA is denying a report in a German newspaper that the agency’s chief – Gen. Keith Alexander-had informed President Obama in 2010 about the monitoring of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s phone.
NSA spokeswoman Vanee’ Vines told CNN: "Gen. Alexander did not discuss with President Obama in 2010 an alleged foreign intelligence operation involving German Chancellor Merkel, nor has he ever discussed alleged operations involving Chancellor Merkel. News reports claiming otherwise are not true."

If you want a real snapshot about the NSA scandal over the past few months but also much more, watch this : http://youtu.be/lH5y-_nYEds
Everything we always wanted to know about the NSA: How the NSA has secretly made the internet less secure, how the NSA spies on every US citizens, what's its impact on global financial transactions, what were its relations with foreign countries. Very interesting and instructive !
The government will do anything to protect the office of the president. It's what they do.
To a point you are correct. When protecting him from his own stupidity gets to the point of treason then they cross the line.
Wow!, we Americans have reached a new low in sucking status. 🙁
Thank you oh fearless leaders.
Well put, ShiverMeTimbers. How true that is!
So it looks like it's all not Obama's fault... again!
I would respect Mr. Obama more if he just gave back his Nobel peace prize.
Actually ShiverMeTimbers, this bozo Obama never deserved that prize in any manner whatsoever! The fact that he was awarded it shows that there is something crooked going on in Oslo. What is ludicrous is the fact that he got it in spite of the fact that he continued to slaughter innocent people with those ungodly drones and Apache helicopters overseas!
