    I have enjoyed reading all the responses, and from reading the responses I would agree that this was not a crime that fits the literal definition of a terrorist act, though I do believe the crime has created terror for those who were at the restaurant, the entire Tacoma/Seattle area, and all members of law enforcement who know there is a proven "cop killer" still on the loose.

    I do wonder though if the reaction would be different if the individual who committed these crimes was Muslim, even if he had not shouted any type of religious phrase, not mentioned Allah and had no ties to radical clerics from other countries, but was known by others to be a very devout follower of Islam?
    They would find some way to call it terrorism, guaranteed.

    Way to go Huckabee. I'd LOVE to hear his reason for letting this guy go.
    Me too.

    The man was serving a very lengthy term for a reason.

    In any case, Huckabee can forget any presidential aspirations he might have had.

    Hannity was doing his usual slob job on Huckabee and defending his decision while criticizing the actions of the judges. The partisan hackery knows no limits.
