cannot lump all "terrorism", by anyone's definition, together as one thing. Murder is murder because it falls into the category "murder" by legal definition. All killing is not "murder".
"Is killing someone for political purposes still murder?" It only ever was "murder" if it could be proved to be so in a court of law. Some times running over a person with a car is "murder", some times it isn't. Was the killing of Saddam's sons "murder"? Maybe, but we will never know because there will never be a trial.
Is any act of "terrorism" always a crime? It depends upon who is defining "terrorism" and who is conducting the trial. I am sorry, but it just isn't simpler than that, not in reality...
