REGION-US: Impact of the Snowden-NSA affair on Latin America
In late June and for much of July, Latin America was embroiled in three episodes connected by a single thread: the efforts of the US government to secure the capture of Edward Snowden, the IT expert formerly employed by a National Security Agency (NSA) contractor who had leaked documents showing the extent of US secret electronic surveillance. One of these episodes involved interference with an aircraft carrying Bolivian president Evo Morales, another the interception of communications between top Ecuadorean officials (including President Rafael Correa), and the third the publication in Brazil of documents from the Snowden leaks which illustrated the extent of US electronic surveillance in Latin America.
