BERLIN — Leaders and citizens in Germany, one of America’s closest allies, simmered with barely contained fury on Thursday over reports that American intelligence had tapped into Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone, the latest diplomatic fallout from the documents harvested by the former National Security Agency contractor Edward J. Snowden.

In an unusual move between staunch allies, Germany summoned the United States ambassador over the claims.

Ms. Merkel herself angrily demanded assurances from President Obama that her cellphone was not the target of an American intelligence tap as soon as suspicions surfaced on Wednesday. Washington hastily pledged that her calls were not being monitored and would not be in future but conspicuously said nothing about the past.

The NSA, (the Signals Intelligence Directorate), has embarked on a massive surveillance program to “collect everything.” The NSA has compromised all electronic security. All communication is targeted. It has used its legal muscle to force vendors to give up the keys to the kingdom. It has corrupted security models that rely on trust: trust of Certificate Authorities, trust of vendors, trust of encryption protocols. The NSA has done irreparable harm to trust.

And in what I consider treasonous and just cause for impeachment, the NSA has turned over all unfiltered data on Americans and foreigners to the Israelis. No wonder the swine are so angry at Snowden.
