Everything now fits as ‘terrorism’ thanks to some changes in the law. Awful. And accusing Tsunami Democràtic of criminal organization is tremendous. The Spanish Government has lost its mind. (Ah! Elections coming up in less than two weeks)

After all, they accused some puppeteers of glorifying terrorism for a play against police manipulating evidence in Spain [1].

That ship sailed when the US government classified an attack on a military ship in a conflict zone as terrorism. I mean WTF!

These days I read terrorism as "things X government doesn't like". You'll be surprised of how much sense news makes.
