This post got me thinking, so it's quoted not to disagree or accuse but because it was the catalyst for my train of thought.
1. If your country is invaded by a foreign nation, if you fight the foreign nation is that terrorism? Can you be a terrorist by attacking an invasion on home soil?
2. Do we have any source that has the official documents filed with the US military tribunal, and the Canadian courts? I've seen a few news reports and posters claiming facts but I haven't really seen anything backing up those claims. IE: "reports are he was shot pointing a pistol at American soldiers after the dust cleared from his apparent grenade throwing exercise." I haven't actually seen that reported anywhere. I have read the National Observer article posted above (
http://www.nationalobserver.com/2017...dr-isnt-guilty) where it outlines the various theories of the case, but even half of the author's citations are from news other agencies, which I trust as fact only as far as I can throw them.
3. Do we as a society throw out a burden of proof when it comes to Islamic militants? Be they a loose definition of terrorist, or formal military? Are African children enlisted/entrapped/enslaved by warlords child soldiers but Asian and middle eastern children enlisted/entrapped/enslaved by warlords terrorists?
4. People were beside themselves outraged over the treatment of Brendan Dassey a 16 year old who was coerced into confessing to the first degree murder (

According to the Toronto Star the first official account of the incident which was filed the next day by the commanding officer of the raid stated that the person that threw the grande was the person shooting the AK-47 and the target was eliminated (
