For Pete's sake Bill, that "one man's terrorist is another mans freedom fighter" stuff is rubbish, as you surely know.

Terrorism is about what people do, not about who they are or why they do it. A terrorist is someone who uses terror against non-combatants as a way of achieving some kind of political or military aim. "Freedom fighters" do that sometimes, and so do regular armed forces, and when they do that they are acting as terrorists.
