    i haven't read his manifesto or whatever, but i hardly think this qualifies as terrorism. The act of terrorism implies that after the initial event (9/11), associated or like parties are ready and willing to repeat the action, thereby creating fear that it will happen again.
    This guy, from what i can discern, had a grudge against his government over money and was pushed to a point of committing a ridulculous and harmful act. There is no "there's more of us" or "expect more things like this in the future". He said "here's my pound of flesh". He's (obviously) done.

    • I tend to agree with you. More of an epic middle finger, not part of some army or militia.harlequino
    • Was Timothy McVey a terrorist?monkeyshine
    • I agree...this isn't close to terrorismmonospaced
    • He did imply in his letter a longing for more to follow in his wake (so to speak)...duckofrubber
