Merkel is angry like never before. Before the start of the Brussels EU summit (where they drove calculated with a license plate with the number 007 in front ) she said: ” spying among friends – it did not work ! We need trust among allies and partners . Such trust must be restored . ”
So clearly Merkel , U.S. President Barack Obama (52 ) has never fiddled the opinion in public!
In Berlin Giant excitement. Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle ( 51, FDP), told BILD: “It is not proper , and certainly not among friends , or take damage the friendship ” .

Codename ” Rampart ” – as U.S. spies have intercepted Merkel cell phone?
Most likely scenario : On her cell phone ( provided by the CDU), a hidden monitoring software was installed ( ” Trojan” ) , eg via an “infected ” SMS from U.S. intelligence . This Trojan dubbed in real time the complete communication (SMS , phone calls ) to the Secret Service.
Merkel herself had recently told a small group : they did not know exactly whether their phone was being tapped . Therefore they say on the phone always what they declare in public.
