Belmont Club - Foriegn leaders on the NSA - "They doth protest too much"

Lost in the global outrage over the NSA’s spying program is a surprising fact: the most sought-after item of US aid isn’t relief goods or money. It’s intelligence assistance. The Washington Post reports that the biggest thing many countries want with the NSA is to get on its distribution list.

Interesting observation.  Makes we wonder if Brazil is using this to drive a better deal on the F/A-18's they cancelled recently.
