It's actually pretty strange that even he limits the damage to the US only. Whereas it's clearly worldwide damage.

- znowi 13y agoAttack on American citizens is a way more powerful message than attack on German or some other "second class" citizenry :) But also, it is American elected officials who deployed the program on American taxpayers money. Therefore, American citizens, unknowing to themselves, have become a major investor into the greatest surveillance network in history, which spies back on them and the rest of the world. So Chomsky's quote hit it right home.
