I never said he was a freedom fighter, but I can see why some on the left or from the Palestinian perspective would say that with some degree of credibility (it is all a matter of perspective) --it is a matter of opinion whether "freedom fighters" are terrorists or not (it usually depends on whether you are the target or not).

I can't say what he may or not have believed in or even IF he was involved in those incidents (I haven't looked at the evidence or the allegations at all)

But he MIGHT have been a gun for hire against those whose ideologies he felt were anti-left.

Hell, I can understand thinking OPEC is oppressive (it is) and harming it would be a blow for freedom (I wish Obama would use some nonviolent means to beat the hell out of OPEC or hold them hostage for freedom's cause)

It ain't as simple as many here try to make it
