what all too many Americans have to confront but yet find it so difficult to confront — that the very threat that has caused America to move to the dark side with measures that genuinely threaten our freedom and well-being at the hands of our own government — has been produced by the U.S. national-security state itself.
To put it another way, if the U.S. national-security state wasn’t butting into the affairs of other countries, there would be no anti-American terrorist threat, the threat that U.S. officials use as the excuse for adopting all those dark-side policies, policies that are characteristic of dictatorial regimes, some of which the national-security state has installed, supported, and trained in the name of “national security.”
