Why is this even newsworthy?  It's the NSA's responsibility to provide
sigint and comint.  Furthermore, if the delegates are not US citizens,
and at least one end of the communication is outside the US, they are
not even breaking any laws in doing so.

If the delegations can't be bothered to protect their own
communications, it's their tough luck if they get intercepted.

PS: I assume the "friendly foreign intelligence agency" is GCHQ?
