"Mr President, action against terrorism has eroded human rights and is eroding the protection of ordinary citizens’ privacy in Europe and outside it. A recent report on human rights produced by the International Helsinki Federation states that in the last three years the human rights situation has deteriorated globally. The EU must work on the basis that terrorism is to be opposed through legitimate means and in a way that respects both international and national law.
Finally, I would like to quote my favourite American writer, Thomas L. Friedman, from his book ‘The World is Flat’:
The world is flat. America’s role in the world has been as the country that looks forwards, not back. One of the most dangerous things that has happened to America since 9/11 under the Bush administration is that the United States has gone from exporting hope to exporting fear. If that is true it is very dangerous."@en1
