This could be unrelated to the US as details of UK spying were also released.
- icambron 13y agoAs I understand it, UK and USA spying are part of a well-connected system also including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. I'm not sure there are relevant distinctions to be made here in terms of spying.

- corin_ 13y agok-mcgrady wasn't making distinctions about spying, he was making distinctions about who decided to detain someone in a British airport - the fact that the UK has been affected by the NSA leaks means they have as much motivation here as the US does.
- k-mcgrady 13y agoExactly, that's what I meant.
