On Tuesday, the director of the National Security Agency, Army General Keith Alexander, defended the NSA at a hearing in Congress. He denied accusations that the NSA collected the records of millions of French and Spanish telephone calls.
The accusations follow information leaks by Edward Snowden, the former NSA contract worker who has been given asylum in Russia.
General Alexander said the agency has received targeted information from phone calls by some Europeans, through NATO allies.
Metadata would include details about a call, but not the contents of the call. But earlier reports said intelligence officials listened to the calls of as many as 35 world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The European Parliament sent a delegation to Washington to express anger. The delegation met with members of Congress and government officials. Parliament member Jan Philipp Albrecht told VOA that the spying on Chancellor Merkel was simply too much.欧洲官员已经前往华盛顿以寻求关于美国间谍项目的更多信息。
周二，美国国家安全局（NSA）局长——陆军将军基思·亚历山大，在国会听证会上为美国国家安全局（NSA）辩护。他否认了关于美国国家安全局曾收集了数百万法国和西班牙电话记录的指控。
这次指控紧随斯诺登泄密事件之后，爱德华·斯诺登是前NSA合同雇员，现获俄罗斯政治庇护。
亚历山大将军说，美国安全局在通过北约盟友得到的一些欧洲电话记录中获取过针对性信息。
元数据包括电话记录的细节，但是并不包括这些电话的内容。然而早些的报告表明情报官员监听了多达35国首脑的电话记录，其中包括德国总理安吉拉·默克尔。
欧洲议会向华盛顿派出代表团以示愤慨。该代表团同国会议员及政府官员进行了会面。议员简·菲利普·阿尔布雷克特向VOA表示，监听德国总理默克尔这种行为简直太过分了。
