Neither did I, when first getting involved. Because, like Professor Lennox, I agree that Academic Freedom and Free Speech are SACRED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of the 200+ media articles carried on Google News  one of them quotes Mrs. Raymond Luc Levasseur saying the violence was not "terrorism" but "sabotage."  As Commander Spock would say "fascinating".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terrorism is exactly what the word implies:  do as much possible damage, slaughter as many innocent people in the most heinous way possible--preferably at the beginning of a news cycle designed for  peak media broadcast.  And, better yet, repeat the act a few moments later--because if you execute the first part properly, NOW the entire world is watching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sabotage means to incapacitate in a sneaky sort of way  (although that could indeed cause human casualties) the opposition's machinery.  But the attack focuses on the physical infrastructure--not the flesh and blood component.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big difference.
