Several German news sources are questioning how much President Obama knows about the US spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The 'Spiegel' magazine reported that the USA's National Security Agency (NSA) started tapping Ms Merkel's mobile telephone in 2002, under the George W. Bush administration. It says President Obama knew that the tap was still in place as early as 2010, before he visited Berlin in June of that year to tell Germans of the warm friendship that existed between their two countries. A newspaper reported that the contents of Ms Merkel's SMS messages and phone calls went straight to the White House. The US Embassy in Berlin was used as a base for the surveillance.

多家德國(guó)新聞媒體質(zhì)疑美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬到底知道多少關(guān)于監(jiān)視德國(guó)總理默克爾的事情?！睹麋R周刊》報(bào)道稱在小布什當(dāng)政期間，美國(guó)國(guó)家安全局于2002年開(kāi)始監(jiān)聽(tīng)默克爾的電話。周刊稱奧巴馬總統(tǒng)早在2010年就了解到監(jiān)聽(tīng)一直在持續(xù)當(dāng)中，之后奧巴馬于當(dāng)年6月訪問(wèn)柏林，重溫兩國(guó)友情。有報(bào)道稱默克爾的短信息和電話內(nèi)容能夠直接到達(dá)白宮。美國(guó)駐柏林使館是監(jiān)視基地。

The spying allegedly began when former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder was in office. US intelligence sources were suspicious of his refusal to support the second Iraq War. Obama told Ms Merkel last week that he had not known of the bugging. However, a media report cites an NSA official who said Mr Obama ordered the programme to be escalated. A document from the NSA warned of "grave damage for relations" if its spying programme was discovered. Ms Merkel is shocked that the USA may have engaged in the sort of spying she thought was a relic of the Cold War. She was also spied on in the former East Germany, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe.

有人聲稱這樣的監(jiān)視行動(dòng)是從德國(guó)前總理施洛德當(dāng)政期間就開(kāi)始的。美國(guó)情報(bào)部門曾經(jīng)因他不支持伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)而表示過(guò)懷疑。奧巴馬上周對(duì)默克爾稱他對(duì)竊聽(tīng)一事不知情。但是，有媒體引用一位安全局官員的話說(shuō)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬命令將任務(wù)升級(jí)。一份來(lái)自安全局的文件警告稱如果監(jiān)聽(tīng)計(jì)劃一旦被發(fā)現(xiàn)，會(huì)對(duì)兩國(guó)關(guān)系構(gòu)成傷害。默克爾對(duì)美國(guó)監(jiān)聽(tīng)一事表示震驚，她認(rèn)為這是冷戰(zhàn)遺留物。在柏林墻以及東歐共產(chǎn)主義倒塌之前，默克爾在東德時(shí)期就遭到了監(jiān)視。
