THE German government said yesterday that its cooperation with American intelligence was fully regulated by strict legal guidelines after a magazine reported the US National Security Agency was in close cahoots with German spies.
Germany's opposition, with an eye on September's election, when Chancellor Angela Merkel will seek a third term, demanded the government explain how much it knew about US surveillance tactics ahead of talks with Washington.
"... It is even more urgent to ask what Germany's secret services and above all what the Chancellery knew about eavesdropping activities," said the Social Democrats' chancellor candidate, Peer Steinbrueck.
