It's our lives and liberties that are threatened, not only by terrorism but also by massive depredations of our privacy in the name of counter-terrorism. If those companies from which governments actually take most of our intimate details want to show that they are still on the side of the angels, they had better join this struggle for transparency too.” IfsWantStillsShowsGovernmentNamesSidesCompanyLibertyStruggleDemocracyOur LivesSecurityJudgingBalanceCitizensAngelSafetyDetailsTerrorismIntimatePrivacyMassiveThreatenedTransparencyCounter Terrorism Author:Timothy Garton Ash
