The news is full of reports of Angela Merkel's phone being tapped.
Julian Assange is holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Edward Snowden is in exile in Russia. Chelsea Manning is in jail in the United States.
All of the current news on spying is centre stage because of Assange, Snowden and Manning.
The world locks them up for what they have revealed and now the same world is shocked to hear about the details of what they revealed.
It's also difficult to understand why the German Chancellor seems so upset. Does the Bundesnachrichtendienst - BND - not engage in similar activity? Surely Mossad and GCHQ all undertake similar activity.
