What defines a terrorist and how does Hasan comport with that definition?Is George Hennard a terrorist? He murdered 21 people. How about James Adkisson? He murdered two people at a church. How about Joseph Pallipurath? He murdered three people at a New Jersey church? Do these people's actions comport with your definition of terrorism? For that matter, when the Mafia murders someone to keep them from testifying or to otherwise intimidate them, is that terrorism?
