Paul,

The story I have heard is that the US routes certain domestic traffic over to the UK where it is intercepted by GCHQ.

GCHQ then send the recordings back to the interested Agency in the States.

Apparently this enables the Agency in the US to say hand on heart they don't intercept and listen to to domestic traffic and puts the actual monitoring ect in the hands of GCHQ and beyond US law..

Regards,

Peter
