As student history I can name several people also labelled 'terrorist' before by a government, who were not. 'Terrorist' is the name opressive and undemocratic Junta's use for their opposition.

From the US journal "Foreign Affairs," Sep/Oct, 1996:

Postmodern Terrorism Since 1900, terrorists' motivation, strategy, and weapons have changed to some extent. The anarchists and the left-wing terrorist groups that succeeded them, down through the Red Armies that operated in Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1970s, have vanished; if anything, the initiative has passed to the extreme right. Governments and media in other countries do not wish to offend terrorists by calling them terrorists. The French and British press would not dream of referring to their countries' native terrorists by any other name but call terrorists in other nations militants, activists, national liberation fighters, or even "gun persons." ---------- For the full 30kb essay see: http://jya.com/pothot.txt
