For full effect, e-mail the list with soft encryption and an easy password like allahakbar.

Why would anyone waste the time and expense of spying on the US? Panetta, Obama, and the rest give away classified information all the time. they even give the info to Movie producers so it can be spread far and wide.

"The British government does not answer to me."

Neither, apparently, does the US government any longer.

Thanks for the Ping, LucyT.

An interesting post on GCHQ. It may not be here nor there, but is good for a chuckle. GCHQ had their initial centre at Eastcote Middlesex (My home town). At neighbouring Ruislip in a neat little bungalow, lived Helen and Peter Kroger. They had New Zealand passports. Kroger set up a used bookshop in London in 1954.

Someone finally caught on and the Krogers were arrested. Communist spies and a long association with the Russians. House full of radio equipment and a transmission antenna. They were spying on the GCHQ spy network (laughs).

They were Morris Cohen and his wife Lona, both Brooklyn Americans. They had served about eight of sixteen years. In 1961, when a British citizen was arrested in Moscow as a spy. A swap was arranged. Both Cohens lived out their days in Moscow.

Mad Magazine used to have cartoons titled "spy versus spy". How anyone could pass as New Zealanders coming from Brooklyn, is still beyond me. GCHQ have long left the gentle suburban confines of Eastcote.

LOL. No surprise here. Everyone, including our own government, is spying on us nowadays.

Anyone know? Could the Brits collect data on U.S. citizens and then provide that info to the NSA? WE could then reciprocate to the Brits. Just a tinfoil type question.

See #20.

Each country got info on the other’s citizens and sent it to that country’s snoop agency.

They got around the bans on domestic snooping that way.
