If you can't call a terrorist a terrorist without hand wringing about the term, how the hell can we talk about the best policy to deal with terrorists when apparently we don't have any terrorists.
Shades of grey my lilly white, you bomb a school, you blow up a disco, you destroy a hotel, you are a terrorist. No 'abuse' of the word changes that.

the issue isn't whether or not those actions were perpetrated by terrorists. in all reality, no one's going to argue that those weren't acts of terrorism (which there for makes those who commited them terrorists). the problem is that the list of events given are nicely cherry picked.
why not just start a conversation about the failings of the public school system by looking at a list of inner city publics (detroit for example) and ignoring any that are doing well?
