German publications release that German chancellor Angela Merkel's phone number is in the National Security Agency's secret document. How long has the NSA had Merkel's phone bugged? Since 2002. This continued until recently in 2013. Germany and other countries are not the only ones aggravated by the spying of the US, but so are the citizens of the ones spying themselves. About a thousand protesters approached the US Capitol demanding leverage and privacy with the surveillance. Many praised Edward Snowden for revealing most of the NSA's secrets resulting to others coming about such as the recent event of stalking Merkel's phone. Germany is outraged by the occurrence and have the right to be. They will be sending their top intelligence chiefs to Washington in the upcoming week to further investigate the spying allegations. On Friday, both Germany and France reported that they want the United States to sign a no-spy deal with a deadline of the end of 2013. Rumors have come about that not only is the NSA spying on Merkel's actions on her phone but as well as listening to millions of telephone calls made by German and French citizens. With the government shut down leaving the United States in despair and the spy leaks on Merkel's phone embarrassing them, the world wonders what other secrets may the US be hiding?
