The DC snipers aren't considered terrorists even though the Malvo kids drawings make it clear he intended to punish the infidels. The LAX shooter isn't considered a terrorist even though he was an Egyptian (I think) who opened fire on an Israeli ticket counter. The Egyptian pilot who dove his planeload of passengers into the Atlantic while he praised Allah wasn't considered a terrorist. It's not a matter of keeping it quiet, it's a matter of discounting it if true.

So everyone who kills someone gay or kills someone who works at an abortion clinic is a rightwing christian fanatic and is part of Pat Robertson's conspiracy?

A kid who blows himself up knowing full well that the first suspicion will be terrorism, is a terrorist in my book.
