Get it through your head--these ARE terrorists--domestic terrorists involved in the torture and brutalizing of children. What could be more vicious?

And you are a teacher? Lord help us!

Crashing planes into international landmarks and killing thousands of people.

Sorry, taking the time and the energy to set up a sting to catch people passing around kiddie porn (and I'll be interested in seeing how many of these charges hold up in court) that may have been produced decades ago is not justified when foreign agents may be roaming the country eager to kill thousands. In normal times I'd say go for it, but not when the country is at war and under attack.

Uh, no they are not terrorists. As Rush Limbaugh says 'words have meanings' and the word terrorist has a specific meaning. It is not just synonymous with 'criminal'.

I have noticed since the beginning of 'the war on terrorism' the tendency for people to apply that term more and more loosely. Thats how you end up with the federal government buying Super Bowl ads(with our money) calling casual drug users terrorists and how you end up with liberal politicians calling Enron execs 'financial terrorists'. Stop the newspeak please.
