As I stated when the Global Anti Terrorism book was earlier mentioned the quoted article seems to be a critique of the way the state terrorism label is applied that when the alleged state actor is a pundit s own government then the pundit tends to be more averse to calling a spade a spade then when describing the actions of governments of OTHER countries That is basically many quoted experts on such matters tend to be hypocritical in their use of the term terrorism It should in no way constrain the way we at WP use the term
