  • Define the term Terrorist

    Dear Salon,

    China this past two weeks has said that those protesting in Tibet are terrorists,America's homeland security under the disguise of the Patriot Act has spied on evryone, including Catholic Nuns, students and those that speak out against Mr.Bush and his cronies both in the White House and on Capital Hill. Now under the Patriot Act those that read pornography or worse yet send it on the internet are being singled out for domestic terrorism by Homeland Security. The right to free speech including,including having to read what we want, burning files or the flag is now an act of terrorism and treason. America has gone mad. Thats why I choose to live outside of America in a non-extradition country in Asia. My friend Phil Berrigan would be rolling over in his grave. Who know's I may be now on a watch list. So to my fellow Americans at Homeland Security. Watch all you want. Want me, come and find me.
