"Ten years after the crime against the people of the United States that was the attacks of 11 September, reality is showing us how imperialism has put it to use, triggering paranoia over security that has served to spread the false dichotomy of security versus freedom. The most serious consequences of this are well known: the invasion and occupation of sovereign countries, hundreds of thousands dead, millions of refugees, the creation of concentration camps, a global network of secret prisons, and even the adoption of legislation restricting and providing for the suspension of democratic rights. These abuses, for many of which the EU shares responsibility or in which it at least connived, are an integral part of the strategy for the supposed fight against terrorism –which we reject, yet which has found its way into this report – as it contributes nothing whatsoever to combating genuine terrorism and the cross-border crime associated with it. On the contrary, it entails real dangers to the security and fundamental freedoms of citizens of the different Member States. What is more, this report whitewashes what these ten years of the fight against terrorism have effectively been about, in that it conceals the causes that fuel terrorism and omits terrorism by the state. That is why I voted against this report."@en1
