Well, it all depends on how you frame the conflict. History is littered with instances of armies attacking the people they're supposed to protect. Anyone inciting armed overthrow of the government could easily be shellacked into terrorist status. The government would just have to come up with a sufficient pr campaign to dehumanize the insurgents.
