Germany's communications surveillance (from Spiegel Online)
http://j.mp/13ufqBE (Spiegel)
"NSA, for example, provides "analysis tools" for the BND's [German
Foreign Intelligence] signals monitoring of foreign data streams
that travel through Germany. Among the BND's focuses are the
Middle East route through which data packets from crisis regions
travel. In total, SPIEGEL reported that the BND pulls data from
five different nodes that are then analyzed at the foreign
intelligence service's headquarters in Pullach near Munich. BND
head Gerhard Schindler confirmed the partnership during a meeting
with members of the German parliament's control committee for
intelligence issues."

And that's only Germany's *external* comm monitoring. We've already discussed
BND's massive internal monitoring of people's communications inside Germany.
