Dining With Terrorists: Meetings with the Worlds Most Wanted Militants

When George W. Bush screamed ƒ??Youƒ??re either with us or youƒ??re against usƒ?? in the war on terrorƒ?? he eradicated the right of anyone to question his logic or challenge his new list of ƒ??terroristƒ?? organisations. These included as diverse candidates as Colombian coca farmers, Basque separatists and Kashmiri independence fighters. Lazily bandied around, the emotive, political and inflammatory word terrorism has accompanied everything from ecology, narcotics to nuclear weapons. But one would do well to recall George Orwell and ƒ??new speakƒ?? and to treat the headlines, the spin and the political justifications with the objectivity they deserve.
