A little outrage over NSA activities south of the border

Mexico and Brazil are not happy with the latest revelations that the NSA was listening to their conversations.

Let's look at Brazil:

"Brazil's senate has formed an Investigative Parliamentary Commission to follow up on reports that the US National Security Agency (NSA) spied on Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.
"We intend to protect national sovereignty," Xinhua quoted Senator Vanessa Graziotin of the Communist Party of Brazil as saying Tuesday."
Down in Mexico:

"Allegations that U.S. agents spied on Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto when he was a candidate during last year's campaign have led Mexico to summon U.S. Ambassador Anthony Wayne and demanded "a thorough investigation."      

Mexico's foreign ministry says that "alleged espionage activity involving Mexican citizens" is against international law and the charter of the United Nations."

My guess is that it will all pass and not much will come of this.  However, it is another headache or the Obama administration.
