I'm confused by James O'Neill's comments:

1) The Taliban was the legal government of Afghanistan.
2) The Afghanistan government fell out of favour with the Taliban government when the latter refused to agree to an American company...
3) I agree that they (meaning the Taliban) were not recognised as the legitimate government, although the US nonetheless supported them financially

Is this an example of James stating facts on the run, being confused on the issue, or simply a concerted effort to disseminate misinformation and getting caught out?

Arjay nice to hear the truth, the lies that spew from the mouths of politicians and media is beyond me, WW1 the glorified war, we would prefer to hear the truth of all those young unnecessary lives lost, not bull sh.. just to keep the masses quiet, people like yourself look beyond the untruths being told on a daily basis. The USA has caused in one way or another the problems that now confront the Western world under the guise of terrorism, created by them.

How can you say Hicks was not a terrorist, or the Taliban were not terrorist, because they were part of the lawful government of Afghanistan?

So according to that theory, a lawful government is free to commit whatever crimes they want, so long as they take the trouble to validate it with an act of legislation?

This of course is exactly what all governments do - they just exempt themselves from their own definition of terrorism. It is only this facile definition that prevents them all from being identified as the worse terrorists, and everything they do as based on what they themselves define as terror.
