Anglela Merkel is livid; and still reeling from the revelation that NSA was spying on her, and eavesdropping on her cell phone. This claim and others that she and other world leaders have been spied on had "severely shaken" relationships between Europe and the United States, the German leader said.
Meanwhile, the Indian government swung into uncharacteristic action upon learning that Manmohan Singh was NOT one of the 28 world leaders spied upon. American ambassador Nancy Powell was summoned by Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi to lodge an official protest. She said, "Not being chosen in the elite list of 28 spy-worthy nations has severely affected our relations". Mrs Gandhi further chastised Ms Powell for this personal insult to PM Manmohan Singh.
When NSA was contacted about this international fracas, they rather red-facedly admitted that although they had tried to spy on Manmohan Singh, his unique mumbling style had proved too much for even the NSA's supercomputers to interpret.
