At the very basic level, terrorists attack people and property.
Bush has attacked the core values of our democratic system:
* warrantless wiretaps of citizens, spying on anti-war protest groups, prohibiting anti-Bush citizens from access to Bush public appearances, and other infrigements on the most basic of our constitutional rights....
* restricting the public's access to government information through FOIA restrictions, increased use of national security classifications, violations of the Presidential Records Act...
* abuse of separation of powers with excessive "signing statements" and "excutive orders" to circumvent laws and the will of Congress, extending "excutive privilege well beyond the traditonal application to a Pres and personal advisors...
That's just the tip of the iceberg.

BTW...Someone should tell Bush that the WH website lists the WH Office of Administration as subject to FOIA:

I wonder how quickly they will scrub the site.
