As Noam Chomsky observed in his book 9/11, if Western powers ever abided by the code's definition of terrorism, it "would at once reveal that the US is a leading terrorist state, as are its clients".
The US Code defines terrorism as a crime that appears to be intended to (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping.
