Update: The Shifting of Terrorism

The Defense Department has developed a new tactic for killing enemy combatants, where snipers place fake weapons or bomb materials and wait for someone to pick it up. Then, they shoot, sometimes to wound and sometimes to kill. Currently, three snipers are on trial for murder charges, and this program, called "baiting", was disclosed in their defense. The Army denies that this is an institutional program, yet many soldiers have testified to its existence.

This just another example of how the U.S. is no longer fighting terrorism, but causing it.
