Truth this, truth that; blah, blah, blah. Truth isn't determined by the beholder, truth isn't written by those with power. Truth is something you discover once you look objectively though delusion and lies. It is a personal experience. It is universal. And, on terrorism, I cannot say it can ever be "justified." This last word is a loaded one, mind you. I cannot condone any action that has the distinct purpose of causing fear. You cannot fight evil with evil. You cannot stop injustice with injustice. You cannot alleviate misery by causing misery. If you want to call it a military tactic, fine, but know that there is no good in war--no matter the circumstances.
