[Costello:] This morning, Washington faces more anger and more embarrassment over reports that the National Security Agency eaves dropped on the cell phone conversations of world leaders, leaders, pleural. The White House took out an op-ed responding to all of this. Obama's counterterrorism advisers said that, quote, "Disclosures have created significant challenges in our relationships." She goes on to say that the president has ordered a review of our surveillance capabilities including with our foreign German Chancellor Angela Merkel is a key U.S. ally and one of the reported target of that spying. She said others shared her outrage at the EU Summit, which wraps up today.
[Angela Merkel, German Chancellor:] I think it's to find a basis for the future and trust needs to be rebuilt. That implies that the trust has been severely shaken.
[Costello:] CNN Atika Shubert has more on the European Summit and the growing outrage against the United States.
[Atika Shubert, Cnn Correspondent:] Well, Carol, Angela Merkel has very clear at an U.E. Brussels about just how angry she is with these allegations of NSA spying on her personal German Chancellor Merkel has been very clear at E.U. summit in Brussels about how angry she is about the spying on her personal phone. She called it a betrayal of trust of "The NSA was monitoring the phone calls of at least there this is all part of the NSA leaks that were put out by Edward Snowden. And according to another document given to the newspaper by Edward Snowden, the NSA was monitoring the phone calls of at least 35 other world leaders. Now both France and Germany are demanding talks with the U.S. by the end of the year.
[Costello:] Reporting on the subject of the NSA. Sometimes you can't help eavesdropping, right, NSA? Well, a former political strategy gist found himself within ear shots on a conversation. He overheard former CIA and NSA director apparently talk on the cell phone. He started tweeting out what he heard. And no supervise, those tweets went viral.
[Brian Todd, Cnn Correspondent:] I talked to Tom Mattzzie a short time ago. And he says he wasn't eavesdropping but Hayden was being quote the loud guy on the train. Tom Matzzie said he was reluctant to start tweeting. He didn't want to do it at first. It was about an hour and a half between the time he got on the train and the time he tweeted and the time Michael Hayden started taking the phone calls. He believes that Hayden was being undignified and it was inappropriate for Hayden to be saying the things he was saying. Let's go ver a couple of the tweets. One of them says, quote, former NSA spy boss on a krol behind me blabing, quote, acela. And a third, quote on acela, phone ring, I think the jig is up. Do I hide? And then he eventually spoke to Michael Hayden, got a picture with him. And I guess they're both from Pittsburgh because he says, here, me and Steeler fan Michael Hayden. Now, again, Tom Matzzie, is pretty unrepentant about this. He says he believes Hayden was banking or years of credibility to kind of hide. Hayden has pushed back on that a little bit, carol. But this is one of those things that blows up on the twit twitter atmosphere.
[Costello:] Hayden issued a statement to CNN. He said had a nice chat with my fellow Pittsburgher. He says, I didn't criticize the president. I said these were very difficult issues. And I said I had guidance that limited the things I did when I was director of the NSA. The tweeter Tom Matzzie is live in the 11:00 hour of CNN with Ashleigh Banfield. I want to take you back live to Boulder, Colorado. It is breaking news because court documents have been released after 17 years in the JonBenet Ramsey case. Ana Cabrera is there. She has been reading these documents. What do they say?
[Cabrera:] Carol, again, these are from the 1999 grand jury indictment of JonBenet Ramsey's parents. We've just now gotten a look at these documents learning that the grand jury did indeed believe that the parents had some responsibility in their daughter's death. What's interesting is that they necessarily don't say that they believe that John and Patsy Ramsey committed the murder themselves. There are four pages released, two on John Ramsey and two on Patsy Ramsey, and the two charges that the grand jury wanted to hold these two people accountable for had to do with assisting in the murder or in some way impeding the investigation. Now ultimately then D.A. here in Boulder Alex Hunter decided that there wasn't enough evidence for him to move forward with the case and try John Ramsey or Patsy Ramsey in this case at all. And the case was dropped. And then several years later, back in 200, then D.A., Mary Lacy, who had taken over ended up sending a letter to John Ramsey following the death of Patsy Ramsey saying that new DNA technology and testing proved that they did not commit the murder. And ultimately the person who committed the murder was male and unrelated to the immediate Ramsey family. We have reached out to the current attorney representing John Ramsey who did not want to comment specifically. But he referred to a letter he had sent to the current D.A. the latest information which included, again, that the DNA had ultimately cleared his client. And that's all they want to say right now. We talked to the Boulder Police Department, Carol, also, about where this investigation stands today. And we are told that this is still an open investigation. But it's a cold case. So that means there's not an active investigation going on right now. They do continue to get tips. They continue to follow up on leads they may have. But we're told they have not had any credible tips in a very long time and no new leads that would provide a break through into who killed 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey Carol.
[Costello:] I know that Mr. Ramsey didn't want these documents released, but he wasn't other court documents released as well so people could get a clear picture. But going back to what it said, it believed one or both parents assisted in the murder? Is that what you said?
[Cabrera:] That's how we're interpreting them. I can read you. On or between December 25th and 26th, 1996 that's when we know JonBenet was killed in her parents' home that John and or Patricia Ramsey did unknowingly, recklessly to permit a child to be placed in a situation which posed a threat of injury or death to a child's health. And it less says they render assistance to prevent the discover and conviction and punishment of such a person. In laymen's terms, we are understanding this to me that the grand jury had some kind of involvement in their daughter's death, that they should be held responsible for that involvement. But it does not clarify or necessarily pin the murder on them specifically.
[Costello:] It makes you wonder I'm sorry. It makes you wonder who that person is.
