That's where it came from.

Also, where I can see the USS Cole being a naval ship out on patrol in a region of the world where we were at war/preparing for war being misused as a word for terrorism, I disagree with the Norfolk Naval Shipyard arguement.

I guess you could make the argument of it as an "act of war", but isn't terrorism an act of war as well. You could make the statement that all people are potential recruits for the military, so that when they flew the plane into the buildings they were simply trying to kill potential recruits.

Again, see where you're/the author is coming from, but can't say I agree with it.

Also, I used the Naval base argument as an example since I live right by it. There are multiple areas that could be used for terrorism, i.e. Atlanta, Nuclear Power Plants, etc.
