Thank you for your input. Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act creates a category of crime called "domestic terrorism," penalizing activities that "involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States," if the actor's intent is to "influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion." Shuler's lie was calculated to "influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion." He's a terrorist. By definition.
