To clarify: CIA World Factbook's Data

Debt-external

This entry gives the total public and private debt owed to nonresidents repayable in foreign currency, goods, or services. These figures are calculated on an exchange rate basis, i.e., not in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms.

Excellent post! Why is everyone in the media focused on all our problems when Europe is worse off. This is good macro research.
