In my experience, when NATO is involved in the content, it is a NATO document. But that would be playing on a level field. How do you control bleed of NATO information through this mechanism to people who are not cleared for NATO information? That would be a classification conundrum. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. We were always briefed as to the possibility of being spied upon by (e.g.) the French or the Israelis. Anyway, I was always inclined to raise my eyebrows at the classification of COSMIC TOP SECRET. It always sounded like something from a Warner Brothers cartoon.
