Squirrel definition!  Don't you know that squirrels are poor form and
generally lead to point reduction?  Obviously you were never a debate
judge.  :-P

The relevant definitions here are clearly not those of Webster, but
those of the appropriate US laws.  By said laws, it is most certainly
_not_ a question of scale.  Governments can't be terrorists, period.
The letter of the law.
