I don't have a solution for this, but you're right that the word "terrorist" has been turned into "A person fighting who is not on our side." Just look at the shifting terms applied to Guantanamo detainees.

There's nothing accidental about that, by the way. The willful manipulation of the word and concept of terrorism got George Bush re-elected (or, nearly... manipulation of the voting process finished the job).
