Exaggerating 'Global Terrorism'

To make the claim that "terrorism is at an all-time high worldwide," Feinstein counts attacks against the U.S. military by the Taliban. Put another way, her definition of terrorism stretches to include attacks that are not committed against civilians; attacks that are, in fact, aimed at uniformed soldiers in a declared, ongoing war. The Taliban was a state actor when the war began, so while I certainly agree that they're not Afghanistan's legitimate rulers, they're not what we typically mean by a non-state actor either. When President George W. Bush said he'd hold responsible governments that harbor terrorists, the Taliban was his example. LINK
