They run rampant where there are churches. There are churches here. And I mean torture, as in the thing that conservative apologists try to grey the definition of in order to try and excuse an inexcusable position. But you know all about that.

Terrorist means one that uses the tactic of terrorism. It's not an organization. It's not something you can go to war with. Those that say "war on terrorism" or "war on terrorists" aren't actually saying anything meaningful. It's meaningless.
Torture is not meaningless and has been committed.
