“I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism,” [Leon] Panetta said on “CBS News Sunday morning.”

    He adds:

    “This is going right into the supply chain,” he added. “And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: ‘What the hell is next?’”

    Which makes perfect sense.

    It appears the terrorists aren’t thinking ahead concerning their tampering with the supply chain and one might wonder what other dreadful developments might unfold from this.

    Further, they’re showing little regard to innocent people being maimed and killed. It’s not surprising, but it’s horrible nonetheless.

        Putting bombs in widely distributed electronics makes you a terrorist as does launching rockets at civilians. Whatever their goals it is their actions that define them.
