Germany wants to talk to Snowden.

Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich, in charge of German state security, says he will "find a way" to meet with Snowden if he is willing to share what he knows about the bugging of Chancellor Angela Merkel's personal cell phone. This is a telling indication of German mistrust. A German security delegation came to Washington recently and met with NSA officials on the subject. Like Merkel herself after her phone call to Obama the delegation didn't get straight answers. The Germans trust Edward Snowden more.
