Makes more sense when you realize that the UK and US governments are
   essentially one and the same. When governments talk about sovereignty,
   they don't mean independence from other governments or from
   international bodies; what they really mean is independence from any
   competing ideologies. There is no substantive difference between the
   ideologies of the US and UK governments.

     British and U.S. officials have been negotiating a plan that could
     allow British authorities to directly serve wiretap orders on U.S.
     communications companies in criminal and national security
     inquiries,
     U.S. officials confirmed Thursday. The talks are aimed at allowing
     British authorities access to a range of data, from interceptions of
     live communications to archived emails involving British suspects,
     according to the officials, who are not authorized to comment
     publicly. ... Under the proposed plan, British authorities would not
     have access to records of U.S. citizens if they emerged in the
     British
     investigations. Congressional approval would be required of any deal
     negotiated by the two countries.
