I dunno, if you look at specifically this kind of intelligence cooperation with "dirty" states' intelligence agencies (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, etc.), I've found people in "conservative" rural areas to be almost uniformly against it, even if you wouldn't be able to tell that from how their political representatives vote. I mean, to be fair, most people I've met in any location of any politics aren't really happy with it, which contrasts with how we seem to have a bipartisan consensus in favor. But the minority of people who will actually argue in favor have almost uniformly been in "liberal", urban areas. I've had a few infuriating arguments with California liberals defending Dianne Feinstein's views on intelligence cooperation, while I've never run into someone in a conservative part of Texas who really wants to convince me that CIA-Saudi connections are Actually Very Good. At most, they might fall back on "well, Clinton is even worse" in defending a GOP politician's votes, but I've never personally met rural conservatives who want to own that position. (Admittedly, I don't know any conservatives from more of a Donald Rumsfeld demographic, who I know exist and I assume are probably also on board with that kind of thing.)
