Brazil lashes out at NSA spying

“Meddling in such a manner in the lives and affairs of other countries is a breach of international law and, as such, it is an affront to the principles that should otherwise govern relations among countries, especially among friendly nations.”

–President Dilma Rousseff, Brazil

She went on to say Brazil would adopt legislation and technology to protect itself from illegal interception of communication by the US. Just last week Rousseff postponed a high-profile state visit to the US that had been scheduled for October after reports circulated saying the National Security Agency had been spying on Brazil.
