The head of the European Parliament has demanded "full clarification" from the US over a report that key EU premises in America have been bugged.

Martin Schulz said that if this was true, it would have a "severe impact" on ties between the EU and the US.

The report, carried by Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, cites a secret 2010 document alleging that the US spied on EU offices in New York and Washington.

According to the document - which Der Spiegel says comes from the NSA - the agency spied on EU internal computer networks in Washington and at the 27-member bloc's UN office in New York.

6. Everyone is spying on everyone. It's like a Monty Python skit.

I think there is a song about it somewhere. There is a song about everything. If there isn't someone should write one.

Anyhow, it's for their own good, and we're probably just collecting and storing, but NOT reading or listening to anything. Bunch of whiners.
