First thing that crossed my mind: Why was a important world leader using a phone that was traceable on a cellular phone network?

Like; I was using my iPhone on T mobile or Vodafone ... An Anonymous Hacker is more clever apparently ...

Probably, only the numbers called were swept into the NSA's snooping -- this is not phone tapping in the common meaning -- the listening in on conversations.

Google wont let me use my alias nickname any more, displaying my real name that I gave them (mistake I know) why is this -- to make the NSA's job easier? Same thing really.

Don't use Google Mrs. Merkle ...
