Kerry, in Brunei, faces European anger over Snowden's NSA disclosures At a news conference, Kerry said Ashton "did indeed raise it with me" in a meeting of Asian foreign ministers that both are attending. He said he told Ashton he did not yet have "all the facts" and would get back to her. In a weekend report, the German magazine Der Spiegel said it had seen portions of documents from 2010 provided by Edward Snowden, the former U.S. National Security Agency contractor whose earlier revelations about international NSA surveillance have caused a firestorm of questions and criticism in the United States. The report said the agency had placed listening devices in E.U. offices in Washington and New York, monitored phone lines at the E.U."s Brussels headquarters and breached its computer network. European officials and politicians have reacted furiously, with some saying the revelations may harm efforts that began this month to negotiate a transatlantic free trade zone, a high foreign policy priority for the Obama administration. "We cannot accept this type of behavior between partners and allies," French President Francois Hollande said Monday, Le Figaro reported. We ask that it stop immediately. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has ordered a sweep of European Commission headquarters to search for monitoring devices, a spokeswoman said in Brussels on Monday. And in Berlin, a spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she is "alienated" by the alleged eavesdropping. "We are no longer in the Cold War," spokesman Steffen Siebert said. U.S. Ambassador to Germany Philip D. Murphy was summoned to the Foreign Ministry for consultations on the issue. The allegations of surveillance have special resonance in Germany, where memories of East German Stasi spying are fresh and Nazi-era crimes also lurk in the back of people's minds. With German parliamentary elections in less than three months, Merkel is under extra pressure to take a hard line against the United States on the issue. Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said Monday that "it's a thorny issue that needs to be met by satisfactory responses," Italy's ANSA news agency reported. And in France, Harlem Desir, the chairman of Hollande's Socialist Party, said that the allegations, if confirmed, would "naturally" have an impact on trade negotiations with the United States. In a statement released in Washington on Sunday, the office of the Director of National Intelligence appeared to imply at least some truth to the report. "As a matter of policy," the statement said, "we have made clear that the United States gathers foreign intelligence of the type gathered by all nations."
