Exactly, yes.

More over, the US doesn't NOT need to show evidence. It just needs to make the claim and say that it has evidence. No UK court gets to see any evidence at all.

IIRC, it was supposed to be two way, but the US never signed off on it's half of it, while we good little Brits let the legislation sail through.

I think we'd be better off in the UK with Europe and Russia on our side these days.

In fact we'd probably be better off with the Eastern Bloc states if they existed as well...
