The German government admitted Monday that the Federal Intelligence Service had recruited and spied on journalists from 1993 until as recently as last year.

"The government regrets the incidents," said Ulrich Wilhelm, the government spokesman after he had been bombarded with questions during the Monday regular news conference.

Probably occurs all over Europe. Germany just had the bad luck to get caught.

What's the big deal? If Germany is like the USA at all, journalists should probably be considered a threat to national security too! Ours certainly are!

"The Sainted Shroeder government?!?"

The utter moral bankruptcy, sleaze and corruption of the pathetic Schroeder becomes even more obvious by the day.


"Whatever will the NY Times write about this?"

The Slimes will write what they usually write about Bush-hating vermin who's embarrassing crimes are exposed...NOTHING. :)
