You and I differ......I consider anything that causes extreme terror in people a terrorist attack.

But that's just semantics.

Surely there is a difference between:

1. a bus driver who accidently falls of the cliff (with the bus and the passengers)
2. Virginia Tech shooter
3. 9/11 hijackers

Clearly, 1, 2 and 3 are not the same, despite the fact that they caused the extreme terror to their victims.

Common term is to call
1. accident
2. lone nut
3. terror attack

Hasan is clearly not 1. Between 2 and 3, it is starting to look very much like 3 - terror attack.

It will be interesting if Obama tries to degrade it from 3 to 2... It plays better with his base. There is no evil in the base (of course other than GWB).

As I said, he already started the weasel act when he said: "We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing."
