If the '5 eyes' is too compromised to function for allies, that's another black mark against chosing to ally with America, Biden is burning through them quick on his run!
I've been thinking about the global surveillance state a lot, and I think shit like this will be a faint ray of hope.
Post 9/11 and with the creation of the DHS the emphasis was on changing "silo's" where the CIA wouldn't share with the FBI to retain credit, to "info sharing" so now the CIA knows when you purchase a car at a local dealership due to info sharing.
What this does is open info leaking up to a whole lot of people. Bradley Manning just downloaded everything onto a CD and walked out with it. THere's no way he should have had access to it in the first place.
If the intelligence agencies go back to silo'ing and hoarding info they may interfere with each other and get a whole lot less efficient.
