There's a big debate whether those secret treaties exist and if they do, whether they say what Foschepoth says they do - i.e. if they allow spying on all german citizens by allies secret services - and if they allow it, whether the german government can sign (secret) treaties that violate principles of the german Grundgesetz (constitution). See for example this blog post http://www.internet-law.de/2013/10/darf-die-nsa-in-deutschland-die-telekommunikation-ueberwachen.html http://www.internet-law.de/2013/10/darf-die-nsa-in-deutschla... and the following discussion. So if the lawsuit ever makes it to court, these questions need to be debated - and I'm very interested in seeing the result. Edit: Just for clarity: The situation may be quite well that currently the german governments allows allies surveillance based on contracts that are illegal in itself.
