Berlin Tells CIA’s Top German Spy to Get Lost

Perhaps feeling a bit confident after eviscerating Brazil from the face of the planet (judging from the latter nation’s newspaper covers), Germany is now telling the Central Intelligence Agency’s Germany chief to get lost.

“The government has asked the representative of the U.S. intelligence agencies in Germany to leave the country as a reaction to the ongoing failure to help resolve the various allegations, starting with the NSA and up to the latest incidents,” said Clemens Binniger, essentially German parliament’s Intelligence Committee Chair.

Germany has uncovered two U.S. spies in the past week, one working in a German foreign intelligence agency and the other in the defense ministry. This appears to be the straw the broke the back of whatever the German version of a camel is, as it comes after a year’s worth of anger over U.S. eavesdropping on German Prime Minister Angela Merkel’s communications, which was revealed by Edward Snowden.

So. Go Argentina?
