Had to do it because the Globe web site didn't give me a This Day in History, which was located on page B10 in the obituaries section.

"Report says Germans spied on John Kerry, Hillary Rodham Clinton" by Frank Jordans | Associated Press August 17, 2014
BERLIN — Germany’s foreign intelligence agency eavesdropped on calls made by Secretary of State John Kerry and his predecessor Hillary Rodham Clinton, German magazine Der Spiegel reported Saturday.
The newsweekly reported that the agency, known by its German acronym BND, tapped a satellite phone conversation Kerry made in 2013 as part of its surveillance of telecommunications in the Middle East.
The agency also recorded a conversation between Clinton and former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan a year earlier, Der Spiegel said.
The magazine didn’t give a source for its information, but said the calls were collected accidentally, that the three officials weren’t directly targeted, and that the recordings were ordered destroyed immediately.
In Clinton’s case, the call reportedly took place on the same ‘‘frequency’’ as a terror suspect, according to Der Spiegel.
Well....
The tapping of Clinton’s call was reported Friday by German public broadcaster ARD and Munich daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
If true, the revelations would be embarrassing for the German government, which has spent months complaining to Washington about alleged American spy activity in Germany. Last year, German media reports based on documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden prompted a sharp rebuke from Chancellor Angela Merkel. Merkel was allegedly among the US intelligence agency’s targets.
Spokesmen for the US embassy in Berlin and the State Department in Washington declined to comment on the latest reports. The Germany intelligence agency didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.

That is what they want to talk about.
NEXT DAY UPDATE:
"In separate matter Monday, the German government struggled to respond to news media reports that its intelligence services routinely spy on Turkey, a NATO ally, and inadvertently captured at least one conversation each involving Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state and her successor, John Kerry.
Oh, they are ALL DOING IT TO EACH OTHER, how nice!
At least it makes for FULL EMPLOYMENT in the SPY FIELD! That's how economies run!
While officials in Berlin sought to downplay the reports, Turkey summoned the German ambassador to demand an immediate investigation and the termination of any espionage activity.
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
In a tone of outrage heard repeatedly from politicians in Berlin over the past year when addressing widespread allegations of spying by the US National Security Agency, the Turkish government demanded German authorities “present an official and satisfactory explanation to the allegations,” adding that “if true, these practices should be terminated at once.”
Yeah, looks pretty HYPOCRITICAL NOW, doesn't it?
This German government doing things not even Hitler did! Spying on its friends!
The rest is about some insignificant scum acting as a conduit and honey trap for Israeli intelligence. Thus he had to be removed and Snowden was put in his place.
