[quote=spence;681399]By this reasoning then gangs, the mafia etc... are all Terrorists.
Spence losely all criminal organizations are terrorists. They take over and control large pieces of territory in cities and the suburbs. They take over blocks at a time and protect them fiercely. Everyone is in fear of them. I think the only reason as a society we don't look at this as being as a certainty is because most gangs, mafia types prey on their own kind. All the Italians used to and many still do pay protection money in the big cities. But since its a way of life in a romantic way, as portrayed on TV and in movies, to some its as much a social issue as it is a criminal enterprise.
Next time I attend gang training I'll see if there is an empty seat for you.
Simple put, you can kill a terrorist.
Once probable cause was presented that the person was a terrorist they become enemy combatants. We didn't provide lawyers for all the Germans we took as POW's.
Its only a matter of time before they try killing people as a way of garnering more extortion from the owners of the vessels they have been hijacking.
Actually thier is a group in Somalia that is an organized terrorist organization that has been loosely linked to Al Queda. It would not surpirse me to hear that some of the money is funneled to them from the hijackings.
