Greenwald Reveals More NSA Spying By Bradley Brooks | 09/01/13 11:27 PM ET EDT Excerpts: RIO DE JANEIRO The National Security Agency's spy program targeted the communications of the Brazilian and Mexican presidents, and in the case of Mexico's leader accessed the content of emails before he was elected, the U.S. journalist who obtained secret documents from NSA leaker Edward Snowden said Sunday. Journalist Glenn Greenwald, who lives in Rio de Janeiro, told Globo's news program "Fantastico" that a document dated June 2012 shows that Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's emails were being read. The document's date is a month before Pena Nieto was elected. The document Greenwald based the report on includes communications from Pena Nieto indicating who he would like to name to some Cabinet posts among other information. It's not clear if the spying continues. As for Brazil's leader, the June 2012 document "doesn't include any of Dilma's specific intercepted messages, the way it does for Nieto," Greenwald told The Associated Press in an email. "But it is clear in several ways that her communications were intercepted, including the use of DNI Presenter, which is a program used by NSA to open and read emails and online chats." Brazilian Justice Minister Eduardo Cardozo told the newspaper O Globo that if the facts of the report are confirmed, they would be considered very serious and would constitute a clear violation of Brazil's sovereignty.

IMO: The NSA involvement is growing and alarming more countries that have been involved with the secret spying of leaders of various countries and it appears that it is not only average citizens that have lost our privacy, but government leaders as well. All brings into focus again the size of the NSA breaching of ethical standards of use upon countries and their citizens by an American based spy system. This latest breach shows definitively that the NSA which started in 2007under the president GW Bush, is not interested in al Qaeda, terrorists, and keeping us safe but is clearly an unethical spy system meant to get information from both foreign countries and citizens in the United States. Therefore it is an international, world-wide spy sytem being used for other purposes than what has previously been explained.
There is nothing wrong with spying on foreign leaders, they aren't our friends. Spying on Americans in America, now that's another story all together...
Why should we not be spying on other countries and their leaders again? Where is the controversy here?
Maybe they'll use some of the spying for good and pass it over to the writers in Hollywood that can't seem to come out with anything new. The Patriot Act already told us the government wanted to spy on us, did people forget?
