Putin Reveals NATO Chief Secretly Recorded Their Talk, Leaked It To Media -- RT
Vladimir Putin says that current NATO General Secretary Anders Fogh Rasmussen secretly recorded and leaked a private conversation with him, when he was the head of the Danish government.
“During his time as Prime Minister he once requested an unscheduled meeting with me, and we met and talked. As it turned out, he had a voice recorder on him, and surreptitiously recorded our conversation, and leaked it to the press,” the Russian president recounted during his annual TV hotline.
“I couldn’t believe my ears and eyes – what nonsense!”

Update: NATO denies Putin's allegation Rasmussen secretly taped conversation -- Reuters
My Comment: Putin has made accusations or statements in the past that were simply not true. I suspect that this is one of those cases. But there is no question about one thing .... Putin clearly does not like NATO General Secretary Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

Putin's using Alinsky rules. Use their own rule book against them. Discredit the other side. With the NSA revelations and Snowden living under his wing, it's easy for him to cast doubt on the other side.
I don't agree with the title stating that this was an accusation. The same way was recorded private conversation with Jacques Chirac (seen in the same movie, Fogh bag facaden). So, I guess, this was something frivolous and considered to be niggling by the young politician, back in 2002. The main idea of Russian president, as I get this, was that such incidents don't seem very friendly. Incident with Fogh frivolously recording private conversations long time ago is just an instance.
