If I were an innocent individual, flown to a foreign country and held for several years and tortured, I'd become a terrorist, too. I'd go to war against the U.S.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're a terrorist, you're a terrorist.
I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.
If I were a Palestinian of the right age, I'd eventually join one of the terrorist organizations.
What would happen in the U.S. to terrorists who are not citizens? In less than 24 hours, they would be rounded up, taken to the airport and expelled.
I would die for my country but I could never let my country die for me.
It would be easy to define terrorism as attacks against human rights and international humanitarian law forbids attacks against innocent non-combatants which is often the definition used for terrorism.
If I had undertaken the practical direction of military operations, and anything went amiss, I feared that my conscience would torture me, as guilty of the fall of my country, as I had not been familiar with military tactics.
But I would have executed much greater things, had not government always opposed my exertions, and placed others in situations which would have suited my talents.
Let me announce, with all the strength at my command, that I am not a terrorist and I never was, expect perhaps in the beginning of my revolutionary career. And I am convinced that we cannot gain anything through those methods.
I condemn any form of terrorism and especially the terrorism that would affect my country and me.
