The U.S. government has had to make some painful explanations following blowback generated by the highly classified documents leaked by Edward Snowden. This former CIA technical analyst leaked dozens of documents revealing the U.S. National Security Agency’s electronic spying programs, and the fact that even the country’s allies were not immune from spying. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff postponed a state visit to Washington last year in protest as it was alleged that even her phone and email were spied on by the NSA. Now Brazil and the European Union have agreed to lay a separate undersea communications cable from Lisbon to Fortaleza in order to keep U.S. spying at bay.

Last year word of the U.S. National Security Agency’s clandestine electronic spying programs broke when former CIA technical analyst Edward Snowden leaked a barrage of highly classified documents. There has been a steady stream of leaks from Snowden since then, alleging that the NSA also spies on citizens of foreign countries, even those of its allies. The revelations, or allegations depending the story you choose to believe, haven’t exactly been welcomed by allies, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel being one of the most outspoken figures against U.S. electronic spying. Even her personal cell phone was alleged monitored by U.S. spies, so you can imagine where she’s coming from. The Chancellor says she’s going to talk to Francois Hollande, the President of France, about building a dedicated communications network that only services Europe so as to stop data from passing through the U.S.
