I keep saying this on these threads but none of this stuff is news other than the name "PRISM", everyone knows that NSA and GCHQ shear information, its been in the public domain for years. What do people think the NSA and GCHQ actually do?

that's whats surprising me, that people are so shocked that a SIGINT agency has been snooping on their phone calls.

Yep i agree.

Along with the Canadians, Aussies and New Zealanders all the requisite SIGINT agencies share info when needed.

I worked with/deployed with quite a few Canadians, Brits and Aussies under the Personnel Exchange Program.

The Aussies were a particularly fun bunch.
