Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

According to a definition earlier in this thread: It's "Freedom Fighters" not "Terrorists". Terrorists attacks Civilan Targets, Freedom Fighters attacks military targets.

To nitpick your nitpicking (can I do that? ), I was defining terrorists and guerillas (not gorillas ). I said that terrorists act against civilians to disable them with terror; while guerillas choose weaker or slower military targets because they (the guerillas) can't risk engaging in pitched battle. Special Forces troops would probably fit into this Category (although they can carry some awesome firepower and weaponry). Scumbags who execute/torture POWs are doing so for the shock ("terror"/propaganda) value, and are closer to terrorists than anything else. Maybe "war criminal" is the best term there is.
