German Authorities Lack Evidence To Prosecute Anyone For NSA Spying

Posted by Unknown on from the leave-no-trace dept.

jfruh (300774) writes "The revelations about the NSA's surveillance program caused particular outrage in Germany, a country that is closely allied with the United States but nevertheless found that its leader's cell phone was being snooped on. Nevertheless, the German federal prosecutor's office will not be bringing any charges against anyone, mostly because they lack enough evidence (Google translation). The decision is sparking anger among German privacy advocates."

    US prosecutes Chinese Generals and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Commanders on the slimmest, "guilt by implication and association" pretexts.

    Bless the Germans, for having principles and integrity - unlike the Amerikan rogue state.

    General Alexander and Michael Hayden are off the hook. Now, they face only the hellish void of their own souls.
