Countries monitored by the NSA

Since the month of June and the first revelations on the site of Guardian , the sprawling spy the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) operations are exposed bymedia around the world.

The American journalist based in Brazil Glenn Greenwald has increased partnerships on all continents, providing access to some of the documents released by the former NSA agent Edward Snowden. Thus, for example, that the World could reveal the extent of supervision by the agency on the French telephone or hexagonal diplomatic missions in New York and Washington.

France is far from being the only one to be monitored: the India to Italy via Brazil orGermany , private communication simple citizens, as well as some business and political leaders in various scales, used by the cracks of the American surveillance.

As Le Monde explained in the first revelations of espionage in France, most partners Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden limited their revelations countries considered longtime allies of the United States newspapers.

The purpose of this series of partnerships, in line with the motivations of Edward Snowden is well strengthen the democratic debate about the U.S. surveillance, notto endanger human lives. In addition, a partnership with a media Glenn Greenwald put in a position legally risky, exposed to prosecution under the Espionage Act , as Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning. It is known that countries like Pakistan , the Iran or China are among the most influential countries in the NSA .
