Well, of course Obama didn't know; you don't inform the pres of every recruited asset -- oh. They mean after he got caught. Sigh. Way to capitalize a cock-up, guys. *facepalms on behalf of the CIA, since they don't seem self-aware enough to do it themselves*
The "how dare they spy on us while we're investigating them" attitude in that article is a bit, um.... since I take it as a given that German intelligence is also spying on the US whenever they can. It's just that they're following Rule #1, as you say: Don't get caught.
Perhaps the settlement of the investigation could include the BND giving the CIA some refresher classes?
