If you believe this story...  for example that nobody uses non-trivial
passwords...  I cannot comment further, but suffice it to say that I do
not believe that particular analysis.

I agree that these may be horrendous treatment, but they are not
'terrorist' because they are carried out by an identifiable government
against targetted people.  That's just old fashioned opression and
abuse, not terrorism.

As an aside, the bible records many other instances of 'holy wars' as
does the Koran.  Today most of us we presume that these are lessons to
help us understand the need for peaceful settlement of differences, but
clearly there is historical evidence for lots of abuses by militaries of
all sorts.
