> These kind of abuses are the best recruiter a terrorist organisation can have I'm willing to bet that's the whole point. This way some countries can keep up the BS "war on terror". They create and maintain a certain status quo and then "fight" against it. This way trillions of dollars get siphoned (from their own citizens!) into certain people's pockets (some even enemies of their own citizens!), and they maintain influence over the Middle East. > citizens of the United States would know better The citizens of the US, like most of the world, has Facebook to keep them entertained, and student loans and more immediate problems to distract them from things that have no obvious direct impact on them. When they found out every aspect of their lives is being spied on and investigated even by their own was there a massive revolt? No, everyone everywhere took it sitting down in a sign that this can continue and even escalate. They'll even justify torture by saying "well they probably are terrorists otherwise they wouldn't get this treatment". Land of the free to do as you're told. https://mamot.fr/system/media_attachments/files/001/582/923/original/e2136d6b4d317af6.jpeg https://mamot.fr/system/media_attachments/files/001/582/923/...
