BERLIN — German weekly Der Spiegel reports that the country's foreign intelligence agency eavesdropped on calls made by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his predecessor Hillary Clinton.

Der Spiegel reported Saturday that the agency, known by its acronym BND, tapped a satellite phone conversation Kerry made in 2013.

The magazine says the agency also recorded a conversation between Clinton and former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan a year earlier.

Without naming its sources, Der Spiegel says the calls were collected accidentally and the three officials weren't directly targeted.

Oops.

All governments spy on every other one and any group that they even remotely find dangerous. This has been going on since time immemorial. The Bible has many good spy stories within, such as Joshua spying on the Canaanites.

I am thinking that US intel should be spying on these two treasonous slugs and their boss too.

Both traitor POS need spying on.

I place this in the category of “tit for tat”.

Of all the people I would not want to have to listen to these two have to be at the top of the list.

Kerry going on about his war record in Vietnam and Hillary talking about thwarting bimbo eruptions when Bill was president, and how she's the smartest person in the world.

That would be excruciating.

Man, I feel for the agents who had those jobs.

Smart move.
