What is the legitimate definition of "terrorist", or "terrorism"? [View All]

Just read a thread how the CIA will now be monitoring forums and the internet chat rooms for potential **terrorists**.

Which begs the question that has never legitimately been answered, What is the true definition of terrorist?

Is there even a legitimate definition?

Or is it some subjective term that anyone can twist and manipulate for their own usage?

I heard on the radio today someone say the definition of terrorism by this Administration is anyone that disagrees with this Administration.

Thought that was pretty funny, and yet there is validity to that point, especially when looking at the people, including many of us involved in political activism that they intimidate and harass because of our opposition to their policies.

So, what is the definition of terrorist and terrorism?

In remembering the history of communism and all the people looped into that category, I think its important to remember and re-expose how the use of *labels* are utilized to abuse, intimidate, scapegoat, unfairly accuse and even harm those in disagreement with individuals in this Administration.
