Bild reported intelligence director James Clapper had ordered review
Secret documents allegedly leaked to media from parliamentary committee


The German government declined on Saturday to comment on a report that US intelligence agencies were reviewing their cooperation with German counterparts and had dropped joint projects due to concerns secret information was being leaked by lawmakers.

The Bild newspaper reported on Saturday that the US director of national intelligence, James Clapper, had ordered the review because secret documents related to the BND’s cooperation with the US were being leaked to media from a German parliamentary committee.

Bild quoted a US official saying the leaks were worse than those attributed to the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

“What the German government is now doing is more dangerous than what Snowden did,” the US official was quoted saying.

1. Ungrateful Germans...how dare they leak our lust for war. When will The Guardian learn to keep

our leaks to themselves. Next it will be the Daily Mail, or some other European rag.
