Reply #25: That's not what I asked...

I asked if the SA regime considered him a terrorist type, which I believe isn't beside the point at all. It's the attitude of the regime towards the person they're freeing that's important. The SA regime freed Mandela even though they considered him a terrorist type. The Israeli govt considers Barghouti a terrorist type, and I think the SA example shows that some natural leaders have to be freed regardless of how they're considered by those who imprison them...
