A Miami Herald journalist, Carlos Alberto Montaner, in an article underthe title Why we Spy on Brazil, reproducesan interview with a former American ambassador (not identified), withexperience in Latin America. A summary of what the ambassador said is as follows:---FROM the Washington perspective, Brazil ishistorically a country friendly with the US, but the truth is that today,Brazil`s current government is not.---CONSULT the Sao Paulo Forum. The friends ofLula and Dilma and the workers party (PT) are enemies of the US. In thislineup, Nicolas Maduro (Venezuela) first, followed by the Castro brothers(Cuba), Iran, Evo Morales (Bolivia), Libya, (at the time of Gadhafi) andBashar Assad (Syria).---IN almost all conflicts on theinternational scene the Brazilian government aligns itself with the politicalpositions taken by Russia and China, contrary to the positions of the USDepartment of State and the White House.---BRAZIL has not demonstrated the slightestevidence to defend democratic principles and human rights which have beensystematically violated in Cuba. On the contrary, former president Lula hasalways taken investors to that island to fortify the Castros dictatorship, in placessuch as the super port of Mariel, nearHavana, which has received Brazilian investment in the order of 1 billion USdollars. ---THE influence of Cuba in Brazil is covert butvery intense. Jose Dirceu, former chief of the civil household of ex- presidentLula was trained as an intelligence agent in Cuba, where he was submitted toplastic surgery of the face and returned to Brazil bearing a false identity. Heonly recently fell into disgrace after being indicted for corruption, but he neverabandoned his ideology nor the complicity with Havana.---SOMETHING similar is happening with professorMarco Aurelio Garcia, current advisor to President Dilma for foreign affairs.He is contumaciously anti-american, even worse than Jose Dirceu, because he ismore intelligent and better trained. He will do everything possible to foil USpolicies.---AS for Itamaraty, a renowned Ministry of ExternalRelations known for the high quality of its diplomats, the democratic charterssigned in Latin America, such as that of Lima in 2001, today are not more thanpieces of paper of no importance. The current government simply ignoreselectoral violations and frauds perpetrated in Venezuela, Nicaragua and othercountries and is totally indifferent to violations of freedom of the press.---THERE are two other issues which are threats tothe policies of the US and the world: drugs and corruption. This is becauseBrazil uses the American financial system giving unfair advantage to Brazilianenterprises to promote unfair competition with American companies. Lamentably,Brazil has often been portrayed in the international media as a notorious corruptcountry.---BRAZIL has served as an outlet for illicit drugswhich come from Bolivia and other neighboring countries and go to Europe andelsewhere. The international community and our allies always ask us to discloseimportant information about the drug trade
