US, Germany To Enter No-Spying Agreement

itwbennett writes "The German Federal Intelligence Service said in a news release that the U.S. has verbally committed to enter into a no-spying agreement with Germany. The no-spying agreement talks were announced as part of a progress report on an eight-point program proposed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel in July with measures to better protect the privacy of German citizens. In the progress report, the German government found that U.S. intelligence services comply with German law. Also, the operators of large German Internet exchanges and the federal government did not find any evidence that the U.S. spies on Germans, the government said."

But its totally binding in Russia right? I mean Germany has NOTHING to hide when it comes to security. Yep, we're better off with Russia even though they piss us off over and over again. They're more direct and not as passive aggressive as the German government is..
