How is it possible that people don't discuss the GCHQ in the same breath as the NSA? From news reports it seems they may as well be the same agency. Keeping data out of the US isn't enough, and it's dangerous for Europeans to think that their own governments are looking out for their privacy. They should be looking instead to make encryption ubiquitous. This may be limiting corporate data storage, but I don't think this impacts intelligence gathering for the US at all.
