One of the focal points of the documents [[Edward Snowden]] leaked is not so much the technical marvels of intelligence collectors, rather the existence of, and extent to which intelligence agencies worldwide share information through cooperative sharing agreements (also known as 'shell game eavesdropping' or 'third party relationships').<ref>https://theintercept.com/document/2014/03/13/third-party-relationships/%20/?Edi</ref> While the programs are billed as efforts to fight terrorism, international drug cartels, [[money laundering]], and safeguard [[national security]], they exist and function only on the basis of circumventing national laws in the respective countries whose agencies cooperate in the efforts.
