Read between the lines: Anyone who might be able to stand up against, or is standing up against Tyrannical government is now a "Terrorism Risk"..
see how the "War on Terror" is slowly evolving to a "war on every single American?" and the old Enemy Al-Qaeda is no longer a terrorist group to be fought, but instead being funded and aided by our own government?
Does anyone else realize the "War on Terror" is just the precursor to Martial Law in the United States- the justification to spy on Americans, set up cameras in every city, bring in the Patriot Act, NDAA, and FISA Bills, and turn our veterans into potential terrorist risks?
Funny how that happened, isn't it?
