Ah.....so we don't need accurate info on who 'they' are....is that about right?
You seem to believe your idea of who 'they' are does not need to be accurate. OK. Tell me this: when it comes to torture in Abu Graeb prison, Marines massacres, dropping bombs on civilian centers of cities, or the 100,000 tp 250,000 dead Iraqi civilians depending on who you believe (can't go by what our gov't says..,..they don't do a body count on dead men women and children)....and you say > "but placing bombs in cars and targetting innocent civilians is an attack > and worthy of being called terrorism." ...does that make US terrorists????
