I quite agree. The guy blowing up sour gas wells is just as much a terrorist as these people.
In reflection though, many of the "progressive" here used to chant that "one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter" but I guess that only matters when it's OTHER people being killed.
Not really... the saying still remains true.
If it only matters in certain cases that the person would be a freedom fighter, then logically if you don't see them as a freedom fighter, then they're terrorists, while other people view them as a freedom fighter.
With the above saying it can only be one or the other on an individual basis, unless someone wants to think of a different classification.
But so long as there is one single person who views them as the later to what the majority view the individual in question as, then the above saying still holds true.
