No. I work with MI6 and if anything, the Americans get more information from the British than the other way around. The Americans focused so much on technical intelligence that they lost access to human resources. They're rebuilding their human networks - with the British help.
No - this isn't classified - it's public record.

No. But the third floor of the US Embassy in London has a CIA liaison office; and the top floor has a NSA liaison office. The first deals with MI6 and the second with GCHQ Cheltenham. In principle nothing is heldback other than NOFORN materials; the sharing is both ways.
For more details, see Bamford, The Puzzle Palace, and Hager, Secret Power.

It is even silly to suggest something like that.
Let me guess... You are British and dissatisfied with the way things are being handled over there. So it must be the United States fault.
Imagine that.

No. But Blair is. So was that woman who was built like a battleship. God I hate bossy broads. Dames like that make me want to vomit. Do any of you girls agree? You know the kind, airhead upstairs but armor surrounding their considerable girth downstairs.

In historic past? Communism. Stalinist Russia, Maoist China, and the greater than a number of hodge-podge of little Communist Asian and eu international places... all at the same time, untold hundreds of thousands. Nazi Germany is attainable in nicely in the back of, even although at greater or less 10-12 million remains important. good now? Islam, in all its greater than a number of varieties, in each and every of the international places the place the strictest interpretations of it are compelled on the inhabitants. To even point out "usa" as even coming on the fringe of the quantity of homicide and torture that happens interior the Islamic worldwide is laughable. greater than a number of the killing that human beings do is on their own soil--murders, suicides, site visitors injuries, and so forth. the effects of world warming are diffused, if even totally verifiable. people who die because of the fact of a drought in a barren area area won't be in a position to inevitably factor to "worldwide warming" because of the fact the perpetrator, to any extent further than people who get killed via tornados in Kansas or drown in floods in Bangladesh (Kansas sees greater than a number of tornadoes and Bangladesh sees greater than a number of flooding). the present fad good now could be responsible any and all organic failures on worldwide warming; however the certainty of ways a lot genuine impression worldwide warming at the instant has on the worldwide's issues is with reference to the comparable as blaming a wave or a gust of wind for making a boat crash onto shore... the pilot can relatively plan for and avert those varieties of issues--yet blaming "worldwide warming" for his mistake is lots much less stressful than admitting that he wasn't paying interest.

No - they don't bother giving them any information at all in the true, completely one sided, spirit of trans-atlantic cooperation. Compare our extradition treaty.
