Robert Parry | A Dangerous Redefinition of 'Terrorism'
Robert Parry, Consortium News
Parry writes: "The classic definition of terrorism is the intentional killing of civilians to make a political point, as in planting bombs near the finish line of a marathon or crashing commercial jetliners into buildings filled with office workers. Yet, the mainstream U.S. media has broadened the definition to include killing U.S. soldiers or allied troops even those operating in foreign lands."

Peter Greste, Reader Supported News
Greste writes: "In prison, one of the most disturbing things is a sense of isolation - the fear that you are on your own, with nobody to fight your corner, nobody to shout by your side or get mad on your behalf. And, if you are genuinely innocent, caught in a painfully slow judicial system and with no obvious end in sight, the isolation can start to play games with your mind.'
