Different class of crazy, yes. But they are still violent criminals and should be treated as such.
Labeling them terrorists and gives them entirerly too much publicity and ego inflation.
That's the best thing the French ever did was charging Carlos the Jackal with murder, like an average criminal, instead of various terrorism chargers.
It destroyes the romanticism of any terrorist movement if would be terrorists knew that instead of being lauded as oppressed freedom fighters and martryed at the hands of a totalitarian regime, they are left to rot in a prison with average felons.
