Terrorism: A Global Phenomenon 
Listen
The PLO. The IRA. Hezbollah. The Munich Olympics hostage takers. Osama
bin Laden's Al Queda group is far from the first organization to use terrorism
against civilians to achieve their aims.
President Bush has vowed to bring down all terrorist groups. But what
defines a terrorist versus a freedom-fighter? How do these groups function?
And what lessons have we learned from past terrorist groups that can help
us in today's battle?
Guests:
David Rapoport, founding editor of the academic journal "Terrorism
and Political Violence"
Kevin Cullen, reporter for the Boston Globe; covered Northern
Ireland for 15 years
Leonard Weinberg, political science professor at the University
of Nevada
John Moore, former terrorism analyst for the U.S. government.
