Isn't "theft" a far to benign term to describe what is going on here? How about "State surveillance is the Victory of Terrorism". "The West: the Soviet Union with Shopping Malls." What we have seen over the past decade is the wholesale destruction of the values the West supposedly stands for by our ruling classes. What we have seen instead are state sanctioned surveillance, torture, assassinations. Yes, there has always been a gap between proclaimed values and reality, but there has never been such a blatant and open disregard for the values we supposedly stand for.
