I am disagreeing with you on this one, Bob... The difference in implied meaning is in the context of the statement being made. "Terrorized" had a different meaning before the word was trivialized, overused and dragged through the fucking mud.
Look at it this way: For a point of comparison, look up the word "terrorize," and then place yourselves into the shoes of one of these children being described in the statement. When taking the word in it's very meaning and in the context, as it applied to what was being described in Senator Kerry's statement, I do not see any reference to US troops as "terrorists," as we have come to understand a terrorist to be, just as individuals who have scared a few people in the course of doing what they are commissioned to do.
