Given this is being driven by Keith Vaz a well known and documented politician of debatable integrity (corruption, bribes, lies etc) then I wonder why this is being driven.
This is after all knee-jerk news or FOTM too some. No new evidence has been presented, no insight and yet more Britons personal details are violated by the hollywood law changes that the goverment has instigated.
It is not new that the UK and USA are buddies, we share data, we don't like criminals and like to catch them, nothing changed there.
Heck given BBC has a department called BBC monitoring that is located in a secure building and who's job is to monitor all the news Worldwide and on the floor above is a office run by a USA agency, then if anything one could question anything the BBC says.
Like most, I'm more shocked at the rabble rabble, OMG I had no idea this was happening mentality of many than I am about this old cold-war legacy exchange of information comming to light, albiet no new evididence has actualy come to light and it is just Mr Vaz jumping on another bandwaggon for personal gains.

- keithpeter 13y ago"The documents were said to show that the British agency had generated 197 intelligence reports through the system in the 12 months to May 2012 - a 137% increase on the previous year." Perhaps we need more details about these documents. May has not denied the specific allegation, just mentioned the usual 'legal framework' thing.
- Zenst 13y agoVery true, the aspect nothing was denied is about as close as we may get to a admission. Though what those 197 cases involved and results would be more of interest, again we probably will never known. If anything I'm supprised that figure seems as low as it is. Probbaly more concerning is that documents leak out to the press, what leaks out to the criminals you do wonder.
- alan_cx 13y agoOh, so now we play the man and not the ball? Is this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/10106507/GCHQ-has-been-accessing-intelligence-through-internet-firms.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/1010650... non BBC, non leftie source good enough for you?
- Zenst 13y agoWHAT! Please don't like sites that make AV flash up red with warnings (probably some hijacked advert). Also lacks details about context of said reports, proof said reports happened and again, general says nothing. As said before UK and USA work together, nothing new there, 197 seems rather low and when not measured against results is futile in discussing.
