It's not a cross-domain security issue, it's a JSONP issue (maybe an authentication issue). Twitter's API allows you to make GET requests which are returned as JSON with an option to specify a callback function. Afaik it doesn't support JSONP however. You can add &callback=some_function and the response will be:
some_function(true) In a cross-domain getJSON call jQuery appends the response to the document in a SCRIPT tag (no ajax involved). The problem may be that this is an API call that requires authentication. I say 'may' because it looks like you can hit the URL in the browser (try Chrome) and get the response back without setting the auth header. (try http://twitter.com/friendships/exists.json?user_a=cnn&user_b=cnni&callback=foobar) My first suggestion is create a global callback function, then append that function name to the URL (as above).
