Several German news administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear are questioning how much President Obama knows about the US administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear on German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The 'Spiegel' administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear reported that the USA's National Security Agency (NSA) started administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear Ms Merkel's mobile telephone in 2002, under the George W.

It says President Obama knew that the administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear was still in administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear as early as 2010, before he visited Berlin in June of that administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear to tell Germans of the warm friendship that existed administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear their two countries. A newspaper reported that the contents of Ms Merkel's SMS messages and phone calls went administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear to the White House.

The spying administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear began when former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder was in administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear.

However, a media report cites an NSA official who said Mr Obama ordered the administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear to be escalated. A administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear from the NSA warned of "grave damage for relations" if its spying programme was discovered. Ms Merkel is shocked that the USA may have administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear in the sort of spying she thought was a administrationallegedlybetweencollapsedocumentengagedformerknownmagazineofficeplaceprogrammerefusalrelicsourcesspyingstraighttaptappingyear of the Cold War.
