From Merkel to Tymoshenko: NSA spied on 122 world leaders, Snowden docs reveal

NSA spied on American lawyers

(NYTIMES) — The list of those caught up in the global surveillance net cast by the National Security Agency and its overseas partners, from social media users to foreign heads of state, now includes another entry: American lawyers.

A top-secret document, obtained by the former N.S.A. contractor Edward J. Snowden, shows that an American law firm was monitored while representing a foreign government in trade disputes with the United States. The disclosure offers a rare glimpse of a specific instance in which Americans were ensnared by the eavesdroppers, and is of particular interest because lawyers in the United States with clients overseas have expressed growing concern that their confidential communications could be compromised by such surveillance.

The government of Indonesia had retained the law firm for help in trade talks, according to the February 2013 document. It reports that the N.S.A.’s Australian counterpart, the Australian Signals Directorate, notified the agency that it was conducting surveillance of the talks, including communications between Indonesian officials and the American law firm, and offered to share the information.

5 Countries the US Has Spied On

With Edward Snowden’s leaks about the National Security Agency’s massive surveillance apparatus, several countries have had the rude awakening that the United States spies on their citizens. Surprise, surprise, they were not happy about it.

On Monday, the French government summoned the American ambassador to answer charges that the National Security Agency (NSA) had illegally intercepted tens of millions of calls made within its sovereign territory. France isn’t the only one who’s upset. Here are six countries or political bodies angry at America over its spy network:

1. France

According to Le Monde, the Snowden leak revealed that the United States recorded 70.3 million calls made within France in a one month period.  Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault was “deeply shocked” and asserts that the spying had “no strategic justification.”  On Monday, the American ambassador has been summoned to answer the claims.

2. United Kingdom

According to the Guardian, the U.S. shared access to the PRISM surveillance network with the British spy agency GCHQ. The U.S. also reportedly paid GCHQ 100 million pounds over three years to spy on British phones for the NSA.

3. Brazil

O Globo has reported that the United States eavesdropped on phone calls and internet usage across the continent through Brazilian telecom companies and U.S. spy agencies. In Brazil, the major targets were businesses and frequent foreign visitors. President Dilma Rousseff has called the United States to explain its spying.

4. Mexico

According to O Globo, U.S. spying on Mexico related mostly to drug trafficking. Other sources report that government and business leaders have also been targeted. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has called for the United States to explain and justify its spy efforts.

5. China

Snowden asserted the United States had hacked the computer networks of several Chinese universities and phone companies, which gave them access to telephonic communications. China’s anger over American spying may be why China failed to arrest Snowden while he was in Hong Kong.

6. Bonus: The European Union

Der Spiegel reports that the NSA has spied on the EU by bugging the offices of EU representatives in Washington and by infiltrating the EU’s computer network. There were massive popular protests in response, especially in Germany.

Leaked Snowden docs show Canada spied on Brazil’s Mining and Energy Ministry

AFP
Oct. 7, 2013

Canada spied on communications at Brazil’s Mining and Energy Ministry, according to Canadian intelligence documents revealed Sunday by Globo television.

The documents were leaked by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden. His disclosures including that the United States spied on the same ministry, on President Dilma Rousseff and her aides, have greatly strained US-Brazilian ties.

In the disclosures broadcast on Globo, documents purportedly from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service leaked by Snowden show a detailed outline of the Brazilian ministry’s communications including phone calls, emails and Internet traffic.
