On this week's The Long View, Day 6 looks at Edward Snowden's evidence that American intelligence service the NSA has been tapping the cell phone of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The eavesdropping is believed to go back a dozen years - long before Merkel became Germany's leader in 2002. And of course - she isn't alone.

Day 6 is joined once again by Dan Carlin, host of the podcasts Hardcore History and Common Sense, to tell us through the lens of history what can we learn from spying successes and failures through the ages.
