    The extent to which the gwot was a global exercise in crushing dissent and liquidating political opposition is I think not adequately discussed. The whole gwot era was used to massively ramp up state surveilance and political repression in nations around the world. Regimes used it as carte blanch to imprison or kill political enemies with DC’s blessing.
