That's fine and then the question is what is the difference between terrorist and criminal. Should Timothy McVeigh and any of his accomplices or people who may share his view be treated the same way as the accomplices and people who may share the views of the 9/11 bombers have been treated?
I mean if you insist there is a difference you must explain where it is and where do you draw the line
