Quote: still, there is no organization of rapist/murderers with an idealistic thought process backed by extremist religion that the west is evil and should be destroyed. to me this is the context i think they were discussing terrorism in the debate as to hunting down and killing.
I agree that is the context that Kerry's comment was in regards to during the debate. However, Kerry's stance was "No Death Penalty except for Terrorists" long before the debates and something I've never understood.
Terrorists don't have to have an "idealistic thought process" be backed by "an extremist religion" or necessarily want to "destroy the west". Those are all characteristics of a particular terrorist group, not of all terrorists. Is Kerry Pro-Death Penalty in regards to al Qaeda only?
