You mean USA won't misuse this data?
They don’t spy on their own citizens but they exchange info with the other spy agencies, so…
They sure do; whatever gave you the impression they don’t?
PS I see that you have edited your comment to add a link, https://www.aclu.org/other/nsa-spying-americans-illegal. That link shows that the government illegally spys on citizens, which is the opposite of what you meant to show.
In other words, the NSA can only spy where it is explicitly granted permission to do so by statute. Citizens concerned about surveillance do not have to answer the question, "what law restricts the NSA's spying?" Rather, the government is required to supply an answer to the question "what law permits the NSA to spy?"

No, Gitmo exists so they can do things openly and shamelessly that their mandates wouldn't allow.
Otherwise they can use black sites, or just lie about it.

Correct, that would be illegal.
When NSA need to spy on an american, they ask GCHQ to do it for them and buy the data. Or buy it off a private company.
