I had thought this was about the NSA spying on US citizens, not about five eyes' actions, which is still ongoing I thought. Note: re rumours, there are rumours, and then there are facts widely known. No one I knew had even a shred of doubt re:five eyes, it was not "tinfoil hat" stuff, merely "this is how this works". Even now, I do not see how five eyes is even remotely illegal.
