Who's a terrorist today?

You mean terrorists like Nelson Mandela or other ANC activists?
(http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-04-30-watchlist_N.htm)

Shouldn't Dalai Lama and Ghandi (though he's by now a dead terrorist so I guess that's good) have to wear a big "T" label as well, using the same standards?

To some extent the way the US decides who's a terrorist seems a lot like the green card lottery; toss a bunch of names in a hat and draw some to see who gets to be a terrorist.

Also check out section 38 of the DS-156 standard form US visitors have to fill out
(https://evisaforms.state.gov/). Talk about Intercontinental Absurdities!

And don't get me started on the US whining about human rights violations in China while still running Gitmo (to quote Anthrax [the band] "America the beautiful, land of the free. Don't change the words to land of hypocrisy")...
