Isn't it interesting that the first coverage of this incident (before it was understood have been a traitorous act by a US soldier) described it as an act of terrorism. Isn't terrorism something that is done to civilian noncombatants to strike terror into the population, and not an action of? It seems that the choice of this term by the press indicates a continued desire to build a moral equivalancy between terrorism and the open warfare practiced by the US.

Yeah, that is interesting. CBS radio just had a headline: Americans Attacking Americans. They did manage to mention he was muslim, but the "story" was American against American. The initial thought of terrorism was actually correct, but that word has definitely been erased. Winston would understand. GAG ME!!
