Invoking the term "terrorism" is bound to ruffle feathers and stir sentiments in many different directions. Wikipedia defines terrorism thusly .."Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal, and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians)."
They go on to say that studies show there are over 100 definitions of terrorism. So apparently using the Wiki as a guide there is no consensus. That means it, the definition of terrorism is available to be exploited and examined.
Is the oil spill disaster an act of terrorism?
