Get it through your head--these ARE terrorists--domestic terrorists involved in the torture and brutalizing of children.

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.

Any abuse of defendeless children is terrorism in my book. Do you know what it means to be terrified? To be in restraints while adult men do unspeakable things to your body? Wasn't Jesse Dirkhising terrorized?

I look with jaundiced eye on any FR member who attempts to minimize the brutality and sheer evilness of sexually abusing children. Makes me wonder what's in YOUR cache.
