In Case You Missed This Little Nugget From Edward Snowden This Week...

[merrily]

50. I doubt Angela was surprised. Germans were in an uproar; and she wanted to show

she was "suffering" from US spying, right along with them. Meanwhile, her intelligency operation has probably been scouring the NSA records on calls in and out of Germany all along.

Notice, Angele never even feigned surprise about any phone but her personal cell. Implied: The US bugging her entire government was no biggie. We ordinary people have known for several years that cell phones are vulnerable. Hell, even Osama knew it and stayed off phones and the net. Assuming Angela did not know that hers was a target is probably a sign that are still trusting all of them too much.

Luckily, for Angela (1) the German government will pay for couriers to carry her messages; and (2) being a plutocrat, she has no reason to want to overthrow the German government.

This left of the 99% is the target of this stuff and the only ones surprised by it, not heads of government, even heads of supposedly leftist governments. I'd be floored if Putin and Xi Jinping had no clue their personal cells were on the list.
