Nope, look into the UKUSA agreement, for the longest time the NSA couldn't spy on the U.S. but had either the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) in New Zealand, the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Britain, the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) in Canada, and the Defense Signals Directorate (DSD) in Australia spy on each other's citizens.
Problem is Joe and Jane Sixpack have been too engrossed with Will and Grace reruns and Brad Pitt and Angela Jolie squirting out a kid in Nambia to really think what goes on in the real world.
