While it probably isn’t organized terrorism, it is a terrorist act. It was designed to hit a visible, relevant target — that’s terrorism in my book.

I suppose that's true. But it's in the same category as every kook who has shot up bosses, coworkers, etc. to "get even" with everyone who "done him wrong".

He went postal and used a plane instead of a gun. It wasn't in the same class as Islamofascist terrorism. Call it 2nd degree instead of 1st degree...

That's my take.

Fair point.

I think lone nuts can be terrorists. Maybe they need to have a category by individual terrorist or something because it is terrorism even if it isn’t TERRORISM in all caps.
