I don't know if they have harmed US Citizens. But it seems they have been forthcoming with information to third-parties.
While this is more or less "proven" (how do you prove Gov. sanctioned espionage?) it seems to be well founded in the truth.
Several non-US companies (including a lot of European companies) has lost contracts to US companies because these have been "informed" by the NSA with the info that Echelon has provided about competitors biddings and projects.
It also scares me that someone is sifting through my phonecalls and email. If the NSA has the computer power to search for words like "bomb" etc they also have the power to search for other more "peaceful" words.
We are moving towards a "Big Brother" society. Who decides if a mail or phone conversation is "dangerous" or not?
