  - since we are going there, here is the CFR definition of terrorism. It does indeed require political motivation. - loosilu Apr 16, 10:49 2
    - "or social" -- nm - Don Homer Apr 16, 10:52 1
      - yes. a cause either way. not just "I wanted to fuck people up". -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:53

- if an event is officially deemed a terrorist act, then the FBI takes over. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:02 15
  - There are numerous types of crimes that the FBI is tasked with investigating. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 16, 10:04 2
    - yes. I am talking about official policy. The FBI investigates all acts of terrorism. Before that it was the Boston Police. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:05 1
      - This is the shit I worked on for years. There's documentation on it and stuff. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:06
  - So last night when I heard the FBI guy talk at the press conference, I knew it had been officially designated as terrorism. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:03 11
    - So, how come it's not all over the news as such, a terrorist act? -- nm - con_carne Apr 16, 10:04 10
      - it is. Obama said it was. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:05 3
        
        that proves it was a False Flag! - Remlik Apr 16, 10:08 1
        
        well, it is also the trigger to release certain funds. yadda yadda. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:08
        
        but he's the anti-Christ! - Beaker Apr 16, 10:06
      - CNN and CBS both said they would describe it as such -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 10:05 5
        
        it's not up to them. The government has made an official statement. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:07 4
        
        When it was up to them, they did say so. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 10:12 3
        
        the government already had. -- nm - loosilu Apr 16, 10:14 2
        
        My recollection is that the highest-level statement on the matter to that point had been "Draw your own conclusions", so they did. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 10:15 1
        
        maybe publicly. But if the FBI guy was there, it was officially terrorism. - loosilu Apr 16, 10:17
