Bin Laden was not on the world wide web. .....The two governments also planned to consider an arrangement between Petrobras, Brazils state-run oil company, and the US government to allow US companies access to oil deposits trapped under a salt layer in the Atlantic waters off the Brazilian coast.On September 8, 2013, the Brazilian newspaper O Globo reported that the NSA had penetrated the internal computer network at Petrobras, according to documents released by Edward Snowden.

It added insult to injury because documents released by Snowden the week before showed that the NSA had hacked Rousseffs personal email and that of her close aides. As the conflict broke into the open, the White House released a weak and meaningless statement that did not acknowledge the NSAs invasion of the sovereignty of a friendly nation and did not commit to holding anyone accountable. Rousseff cancelled the state visit with an angry public protest, and in the United States, the press highlighted the fact that the Defense Departments statement in August, denying that the NSA engaged in industrial espionage, was a lie.
