US spies to rely more on allies due to budget austerity
WASHINGTON - US intelligence agencies will rely increasingly on international allies for information sharing as budgets tighten in the current climate of austerity, a senior intelligence official said on Thursday.

"Our dependency on our allies ... is going to grow," Defense Intelligence Agency Deputy Director David Shedd said. He was speaking at a Center for Strategic and International Studies forum on information sharing.
Why on earth would he say such a thing in public?
To make sure no one can point a finger at him when something goes kaboom here at home...
