Funny enough, I started reading Butler to the World. First chapter retells an ancedote from NSA General Michael Hayden. In 2003 he called up his GCHQ counterpart and told him that in the event of catastrophic failure at the NSA, GCHQ would "run the show". Hayden's words. So much trust involved in a possibly nuclear-level scenario, and you're not curious at all how that trust was built up? Such as by sharing intelligence?

> So much trust involved in a possibly nuclear-level scenario, and you're not curious at all how that trust was built up? Such as by sharing intelligence? Because they don't spy on each other and they share intelligence gathered elsewhere, as the agreement says. Why would you jump to the conclusion that this quote means they help each other break their respective countries' laws despite complete lack of evidence?
