I guess the real issue is how we define terrorism. Crime has existed forever, but when does crime become terrorism? If people wanted to, they could define lots of crimes as terrorism.
It's not such a clear cut issue. For example, why are ELF and ALF (heh) on the DHS terrorist lists, but not the Army of God and various other white supremecist groups, and religous fundamentalist group who are also politically motivated, and have in fact caused human causalties?
