thx for the post mojo... i would've responded similarly but lacked motivation.
one issue though, i don't think you can't discount some iraqi "freedom fighters" from the terrorist label simply if they limit their killing to U.S. soldiers. their tactics keep them in suspicion... they don't wear uniforms, they don't conform to LOAC, etc. that may not be a terrorist in the same sense that al qaeda bombing a disco would be, but it could be argued that it they still fit within a larger umbrella of what we describe as "terrorism."
