Brazil has opened an investigation into US Spy Agency surveillance and Bolivia has summoned the Ambassadors of countries that took part in grounding the Bolivian President’s airplane.

Brasilia wants to know if its own telecom companies are cooperating with the US National Security Agency (NSA) in gobbling up emails and telephone call information, as alleged by O Globo.   The newspaper reported that top-secret information released by NSA leaker Edward Snowden showed that Brazil is the top target in Latin America for the NSA’s massive intelligence-gathering effort.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff plans to complain about the Americans to the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations.

Meanwhile, Bolivia is calling the ambassadors of France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy on the carpet to explain why their respective countries took part in the grounding of President Evo Morales' jet last week in a fruitless search for Snowden. 

Bolivia has summoned the ambassadors of France, Spain, Portugal and Italy to explain why their countries blocked President Evo Morales' jet last week.  Although France apologized, other countries have refused to comment on reports they believed that Snowden was on Morales’ jet when the President department from an oil conference in Moscow.

“We are simply asking the government of Spain and the other governments to clarify and explain where that version of Mr. Snowden being on the presidential plane came from,” said Bolivian Communications Minister Amanda Davila.

Snowden is still believed to be camping out in the transit area of a Moscow airport; a completely different airport than the one accessed by President Morales last week.
