I call "Bullshit" on that.

For all of the talk about "all men created equal" and "do to others as you would have them do to you", fundamentally Americans are brought up to believe they are different or "exceptional" to other humans. This belief let's them distort reality so that spying on innocent foreigners is ok but spying on innocent Americans is an abomination. Hypocrisy.

Timothy McVeigh and others prove that the domestic threat to the US is as serious as the foreign.
