US whistleblower Edward Snowden recently released a report that the NSA spied on Brazilian government communications and that of its Mexican counterpart.
Brazilian Justice Minister Jose Cardozo says if the facts prove to be true,it would be unacceptable and could be labelled an attack on Brazil.
Snowden's report was received by a Brazilian-based journalist Glenn Greenwald who said the NSA used a special program to capture all the online activities of Brazilian President Dilma Rouseff.The report also alleges that the emails of Mexican President Enrique Nieto were accessed before he was elected.
Mr Greenwald's partner David Miranda was detained at the Heathrow airport last month for about 9 hours.
He(Greenwald) labelled the detention as ''bullying'' and an act to intimidate those who expose the activities of the NSA but the British government said it was right for the Police to act if they believed someone had "highly sensitive-stolen information".
If you recall,Edward Snowden,a former technical contractor of the United States and former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency leaked top-secret US surveillance program and then took off to Hong Kong for the fear of his life.He later went to Russia where he spent about a month in the transit area of the Moscow Airport before finally getting temporary Asylum in Russia.He has since relocated from the Airport to a secret location.
