Freedom fighters stand up for the innocent and would never think of bombing a building full of innocents.
You have to admit, calling him a freedom fighter is flimsy at best.

I'm not condoning their actions, but one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.
I'm sure the British would have viewed those who fought for American independence as terrorists back then if the word "terrorist" had been around.
I'm sure the Nazis viewed the French resistance as terrorism.
Even now, they still do it - how many protesters and political activists are being monitored or even locked up in the US and elsewhere under the guise of preventing terrorism?
