SECRETS s pillerWiki Leaks is at it again, this time with hush-hush tidbits of how the U.S. spied on its allies aroundthe world.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon were just some of the world leaders targeted by the National Security Agency, according to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
