Terrorist Recognition Handbook

Ben Rothke writes "There are two types of writers about terrorism, experts such as Daniel Pipes and Steven Emerson who write from a distance and others that write graphic tales of first-hand from the trenches war stories. Terrorist Recognition Handbook: A Practitioner's Manual for Predicting and Identifying Terrorist Activities, is unique in that author Malcolm Nance is a 20-year veteran of the U.S. intelligence community and writes from a first hand-perspective, but with the organization and methodology of writers such as Pipes and Emerson. Those combined traits make the book extraordinarily valuable and perhaps the definitive text on terrorist recognition."

I always thought that terrorists were anyone designated by the United States State Department, or Department of Fatherland Security as being opposed to US foreign policy. This is what passes for insightful on Slashdot these days? Even if you hate Bush and his policies, making a blanket statement that anyone opposed to current policy is considered a terrorist is the ranting of a petulant child. Jacques Chirac's government wasn't considered "terrorist", and there was no greater opponent of the Bush Administration in Europe. Very few agencies of established governments are considered sponsors of terrorism, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards being a prominent example.

And "Department of Fatherland Security"? Godwin must be so proud.
