Was that the intent? And as for intent ... isn't the aim of a terrorist to sow terror? Was that what Ayers was trying to do forty years ago? Whether you agree with his tactics or not, would you equate them with suicide bombers murdering civilians? Of course, other types of bombers, manufactured by Boeing et al, have committed innumerable acts of terror across the globe, haven't they? So who's a terrorist? I'm just asking the question ... and would appreciate an answer. Regarding the Media Advisory:

And as for intent … isn't the aim of a terrorist to sow terror?

Was that what Ayers was trying to do forty years ago? Whether you agree with his tactics or not, would you equate them with suicide bombers murdering civilians?

Of course, other types of bombers, manufactured by Boeing et al, have committed innumerable acts of terror across the globe, haven't they?

So who's a terrorist? I'm just asking the question … and would appreciate an answer.
