It doesn't work that way. "Stealing" data on Americans from GCHQ is just as illegal as collecting it themselves. They aren't allowed to have the information without legal authorization.

Couldn't the NSA just ask the GCHQ to run specific queries (or entire programs/algorithms) against their data and share any intelligence gained?
