War on terror 'has been mainly a war on US'
The war on terror ``has been mainly a war on US in terms of both erosion of our own democratic freedoms in this country and as well an enormous step up in military and intelligence spending in the US,'' says Dave Lindorff, investigative journalist and founder of This Can't Be Happening.
President Barack Obama said the US is at war with a 'network of violence and hatred' and vowed to defend the nation from terror after a suspected terrorist attempted to blow up an airliner on Christmas Day.
