Brazilian President Condemns NSA Spying in Comments to UN

General Assembly that American eavesdropping constitutes "a breach of international law and an affront" to Brazil's sovereignty.

America's spying efforts pose a threat to democracy throughout the world, Rousseff said, as she proposed U.N. regulation of cyberspace to ensure the integrity of the Internet.
