SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The U.S. government allegedly spied on Brazilian state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA, known as Petrobras, according to the web site of Globo, Brazil's biggest television network.

The network, which a week ago aired a report alleging that the U.S. National Security Agency intercepted communications by the presidents of Brazil and Mexico, said its information again came from Glenn Greenwald, an American activist who has worked with fugitive former NSA analyst Edward Snowden to expose the extent of U.S. spying at home and abroad.

Promotional teasers from the network said it would give details of the spying on Sunday night, again on its "Fantastico" program.

Greenwald, a blogger and civil liberties activist who lives in Rio de Janeiro, declined to discuss the Petrobras allegations until after the program airs. Petrobras officials could not be reached for comment.

New revelations of U.S. spying could complicate a diplomatic row between the United States and Brazil sparked by the allegations of NSA spying on the private phone calls and emails of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.

1. Petrobras a haven for terrorists?

With all of this capability and they can't identify who placed the futures orders for 9/11?

3. This is common practice

The CIA tries to obtain information on the moves made by Petrobras and other NOCs. In this case it may have been aimed at understanding why PDVSA lacked the funds to pay their share of the cost if the Pernambuco refinery. Right now Cuba and Venezuela are a large pain in the neck because Venezuela is allied with a bunch of USA enemies and Cuba, well Cuba is the local punching bag.

Therefore I would expect the CIA, NSA and just about everybody all the way to the en in black to be snooping in Latin America.
