This is the fun thing about American politics since 9/11. Terrorist is a magic word like pedophile. If you can slap that label on someone it lets you do the legal equivalent of what people feel ok doing to pedophiles.

You call someone a terrorist, you can magically revoke citizenship, stick them in a black site, extrajudicially murder them....

Fun times.
