PR Watch | Author Eric Schlosser editorializes about “the growing threat to civil liberties posed by corporate spying,” citing Burger King Corporation’s spying on the Student/Farmworker Alliance and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, through Cara Schaffer and her private security firm, Diplomatic Tactical Services.

“The Bill of Rights was adopted to protect Americans from the abusive power of their government. I’ve come to believe that we now need a similar set of restrictions to defend against irresponsible corporate power. Today companies like Wal-Mart and ExxonMobil have annual revenues larger than the entire budgets of some states, and they employ former agents from the F.B.I., the C.I.A. and the Secret Service to do security work,” Schlosser writes. “John Chidsey, the chief executive of Burger King, knew about the use of Diplomatic Tactical Services. Mr. Chidsey should get a chance to raise his right hand and tell members of Congress why he thinks this sort of behavior is acceptable.”
