What is achieved by calling it terrorism? What is the benefit of doing so?
How do you define terrorism or American security?
Tony Snow just said in press conference that "there is no direct evidence of a foreign terrorist tie." If they are self-starters and did not receive any assistance from the AQAM network, what makes them "terrorists" and Seung-Hui Cho, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold not?
Further, if we are at "war with terror" and if this group is an emergent phenomenon, does this imply anything about our strategy and efforts so far?
Will I call these guys terrorists? Yes, but for lack of a better term, knowing full well the word is malleable and loaded, and accompanied with a host of derogatory terms and explatives.
