Here's the dictionary definition of Terrorist
terrorist
adj : characteristic of someone who employs terrorism (especially
as a political weapon); "terrorist activity";
"terrorist state"
n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually
organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often
uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities

From the Oxford English:
noun a person who uses violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

Sound like someone we know?

1. Neocon = Terra-ist
Every other word out of Bush's lying mouth is Terra.

2. Shortly after 911, one of the major news internet sites
(can't remember which one now) had an interactive slide show thingy about different 'events' that had occurred through history - and the subsequent 'political result' of those events. It asked you, as I recall, to 'vote' if you thought that it was a 'terrorist action' (and it was using the dictionary definition of 'terrorist'). After you 'voted', it would give you this little blurb about whether that action was really, by definition, a real terrorist act and then why or why not.

It was really quite good/thought provoking, but I suppose that has 'gone down the memory hole' now (don't want the peoples doin' too much of that thar thinkin stuff').

P.S. Btw, if anyone knows what I'm referring to or where it can be found, it would be interesting to see it again.
