True, but what I'm talking about is asking another country to spy on your citizens for you so you don't have to violate the law. Wink-wink style.

An open mind that considers other viewpoints is one that can outplay opponents. Literal thinkers can be led in circles.

I'm talking about the same thing. For example, it's illegal for the NSA or CIA to harvest emails between American citizens. But it's not illegal for the UK to do so, and it's already understood how they did it in the past to Google users by tapping inter-datacenter connections (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-i...), then feeding that data back to the NSA as a FiveEyes partner.
