I wrote on another thread yesterday that Bush is avoiding a definition of "terrorist" in part because those whose cooperation he needs in this first phase of the campaign would be uncomfortable with any reasonable definition:

Message 16472036

I saw the press conference during a fit of insomnia late Sunday night. Musharref at several points had trouble keeping a straight face. At other times he looked worried, almost as if he was watching the reporters to see if they were going to ambush him physically (as the Taliban did to their opposition on Sept. 9, posing as reporters).

I think the point I made in the other post about Bush and Blair not wanting to define terrorism until later has a lot to do not only with the Middle East Arabs but also with Pakistan. There can be no doubt that, however one chooses to word the definition of "terrorism", these leaders are going to have a problem with those they support and associate with.
