Abstract
In this interview, Anne Roth, assistant to the parliamentary group «Die Linke» in the German Bundestag, talks about her work in the NSA inquiry commission which was initiated on 3 April 2014 to investigate the cooperation between German and foreign intelligence services, especially the NSA. The interview focuses on the manifest conflict between an institution that is built on secrecy (BND) and the will of the parliamentary inquiry commission to disclose the workings of the agencies through review of documents and questioning of witnesses. Addressed topics include the rhetoric of witnesses, the redacting of documents, discrepancies between legal and technical developments, whether metadata is personal data, and the utopian but legally necessary distinction between national and non-national (German) data.
