Tuesday is “cult day” for Germany’s news services. That’s what a former president of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) once called the group that meets every Tuesday morning in a tap-proof room in the Federal Chancellery. The heads of the BND, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the military counter-intelligence service report to the government on what’s going on in the secret world. Intelligence situation, or “ND situation” for short, is what the top-secret group calls itself.
