A lot written about terrorists. What's the difference between terrorists and freedom fighters?

That is a great question Kiwi.

When the Islamic extremists were attacking the U.S. Embassies, the pentagon, etc; then they COULD have been considered freedom fighters as long as they were attacking legitimate military targets.

When Al Qaeda began attacking the Bali night club, the Spain train station, the two attacks on the World Trade center, and OTHER attacks on inocent civilians; then Al Qaeda. Hammas, Hezbullah, Alaxa Martyrs Brigade, etc attacking inocent civilians in Israel, Al Qaeda beheading four Americans, etc; then they are not worthy of the label "Freedom Fighters". They become nothing but murdering terrorists.
