Not bad for a Nobel prize winner huh?

German officials will travel to the U.S. “shortly” for talks about spying allegations, including whether Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone was monitored by the National Security Agency, the government said Friday.
The heads of Germany’s foreign and domestic intelligence agencies will participate in the talks with the White House and NSA, government spokesman Georg Streiter said — though he later said the exact composition of the team had yet to be determined.
He did not give a specific date for the trip, saying it was being arranged on “relatively short notice.”
European Union leaders, meeting at a summit in Brussels, vowed to maintain a strong trans-Atlantic partnership despite their anger over allegations of widespread U.S. spying on allies. Still, France and Germany insist that new surveillance rules should be agreed upon with the U.S. this year.
