The NSA was spying on world leaders, Brazil may cancel state dinner

  One of the issues which has fallen (conveniently) by the wayside due to the so-called crisis in Syria is the NSA spying scandal. Last week it was learned, but hardly reported, that the NSA was also targeting several world leaders, including those in Brazil and Mexico.

  Needless to say, these countries are not happy with this news and now Brazil might actually cancel a scheduled state dinner in Washington as a protest. Here is part of what  Brazil had to say about this in a press conference:

At a joint news conference Monday in Brasilia with Minister of Justice Jose Eduardo Cardozo, Figueiredo called the actions “an inadmissible and unacceptable violation of Brazilian sovereignty” and said Brazil expected a written explanation from the White House by the end of the week.

  So much for Barack Obama improving our standing in the world.
