@emptywheel Careful there. "Potential terrorist investigation" may be code for "first we have to determine whether Muslims did this."

@ramoncreager May be but I don't buy that. Technically, terrorism = motive. Until htey know that, they don't know. Appropriate caution. -
@emptywheel Just wondering if they're cautious for the right reason. The word "terrorism" has lately lost much of its original meaning. -
@ramoncreager Tell that to the guys serving life sentences for crimes that w/o terror enhancement would be 20 years or less. -
@emptywheel That's what I mean. The term is malleable and a convenient cudgel, used mostly against Muslims. Breivik was only an "extremist." -
@ramoncreager Not here, he wouldn't have been. -
@emptywheel As I recall, that was our MSM's term for him. Government? dunno... -
@ramoncreager MSM is not FBI. I was commending FBI guy for his careful statement. - 2 more replies
