Daniel Pipes provides a list of other incidents (besides the LAX shooting) that authorities have been reluctant to identify as terrorism. He concludes:
Work dispute, hate crime, road rage, derangement, post-traumatic stress, industrial accident . . . these expressions of denial obstruct effective counterterrorism. The time has come for governments to catch up with the rest of us and call terrorism by its rightful name.Posted by Dr. Frank at July 9, 2002 08:27 AM | TrackBack
