I don't disagree, they seem like bullies who think they can threaten their way out of something they've given their word on - but that's not necessarily terrorism for all that it seems a similar approach in some respects. I take the article to have been more a play on Reagan's statement than anything else: "If you’re able to remember back to the days when Ronald Reagan was President of the United States, he issues a warning that the United States would not negotiate with terrorists, a policy that has been maintained to this day. We state this reminder only to explain that we treat our policies in the same manner."
