Rogue N.S.A. Leaders Surveill Foreign Heads of State Without Telling President?

Evidently National Security Agency leaders since the Bush administration have been going rogue and eavesdropping on private phone conversations of foreign heads of state without telling the President of the United States. The 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' policy at the N.S.A. meant that President Obama was clueless until last summer. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-didnt-know-about-surveillance-of-us-allied-world-leaders-until-summer-officials-say/2013/10/28/0cbacefa-4009-11e3-a751-f032898f2dbc_story.html

We are shocked that  No Such Agency leadership would act without the President's knowledge, yet we wonder if it wasn't the ultimate insider data acquisition opportunity on European debt crisis restructuring. George Soros would have made a mint with such stuff.
