Let me be specific. How could the FBI's definition of terrorism be better? RT @BrianHubbs1: The FBI's def of terrorism is not very good BTW.

@emptywheel The words WMD and Material Support aren't in the FBI's definition of terrorism. They are in post 9/11 terrorism legislation1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@AllThingsHLS Yup, I know that. But that's the area where the disparate treatment is most problematic, IMO.

@emptywheel As an FBI profiler we use the Classification Manual by Douglas, et al, to assist investigators in focusing their efforts2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@AllThingsHLS But another example of DOMTERR problems: Coll counts Ivins. He's a terrorist. But FBI pointedly assumed he was lone wolf.

@emptywheel But Ivin's motivation is still subject to speculation. Being a lone wolf doesn't preclude defining as a terrorist.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@AllThingsHLS Problem is evidence now strongly against Ivins even BEING the terrorist. Reason he was declared it is bc of investigative bias
