Re: Anybody who is not on their side is a terrorist.

>>> Actually the term 'terrorist' is clearly defined in the Geneva Conventions (that we promoted and are a signatory to).

>>> A 'terrorist' is someone who targets civilians for death, etc..

>>> But, a citizen of any country who decides to fight an occupying force in that country (targeting their military, not civilians) is an 'insurgent'.

>>> Some lawyer should clarify the matter for Faux ('Fairly Balanced') News... because they either had no idea... or they are deliberately loose with their language.
