NSA have ‘proof’ to call into question Bertie’s excuses

IT’S not often you feel sorry for the CIA, but pity the poor fools at their Langley HQ trying to make sense of the blatherings of Bertie and co.

Ahern was taoiseach at the time the US was tapping Angela Merkel’s mobile, so it’s a fair bet every other EU leader was treated the same way.

But then, if they really are an agency of intelligence (yes, I know, a loaded question) they would not have needed a tribunal of inquiry to realise what Bertie said could not be believed.
