Are you sure? I'm not. Who controls what the BND is doing? Oh, yes, I know, they report to a group of politicians, right. They already admitted, that they are overworked and have not the facilities to check up the BND. Also, the BND already lied to parliament ... I guess, the BND is likely worse controlled than the NSA and the NSA has still more control over the BND than our own parliament, since the NSA is in the same building as the BND surveillance team, the politicians from parliament are not (they are hundreds of miles away in Berlin).


No, I'm not sure.

I just read that the BND-officials said that they are overworked, too - since years.

There seem to be systematic issues in the German intelligence services.


I guess, they have to much to do, spying on people.


And we want them to spy on some people. But supervised and controlled by the parliament.
