BRAZIL: Illegal phone-tapping 'targeted Lula and supreme court'
August ended with the sudden mushrooming of the illegal phone bugging
scandal that a congressional committee has been investigating for several

interceptions went much further than had previously been thought, and that among
the conversations recorded were at least one involving President Lula da Silva
and another involving the president of the supreme court.
