Isn't terrorism trying to achieve a political goal through violence? Getting ransom money is just garden variety greed imo.

  Terrorists often kidnap people and demand ransom, so I don't think the two are mutually exclusive.

    Sure, that's a valid argument. But I'm cynical, so I also think that terrorism is often just masqueraded greed, a money grab under the guise of doing something political.
