Whenever a loaded label is misapplied, it diminishes legitimate meaning.

  To be fair, that's been happening with "terrorism" for a really long time.

    AFAIK once something is dubbed "terrorism" a lot of the rules and procedures get checked out the window. I know, surprising.

    And that’s a big issue The govt has shown that they can legally do pretty much whatever they want with someone they deem a terrorist, 0 accountability Like all those peeps in Guantanamo More recently, Snowden showed us what the consequences of something like the patriot act are It’s a very slippery slope

      They can also bomb children via their Israel proxy because they live near-ish to a "terrorist".
