On: How three pacifists were convicted as terrorists

More link bait. Charged != turned. The puffed up charges have to hold up in court.

Edit: I somehow missed that they were convicted. Regardless of the semantics of the law I am quite sure they do not support violence.

To quote:

"...convicted of violent crimes of terrorism. Now in jail awaiting sentencing for their acts at an Oak Ridge, ..."

They have been convicted, not just charged. The stronger title is justified.

They don't support violence. The title is meant to indicate that they are being treated as if they were violent terrorists.

If you read the article you'll see they were convicted of the "puffed up charges". They await sentencing.
