Agreed

You'd think that a weapon would have to, y'know, actually be capable of causing "mass destruction" to qualify as a "weapon of mass destruction."

Indeed. The only devices are capable of doing so are nuclear weapons.

Biological weapons kill living things but they hardly cause any physical destruction at all.

Also when you cause mass destruction enormous amounts of energy is released.

No, making gradations between terrorists and terrorists is splitting hairs.

So now you feel that everybody defined to be a terrorist should face the death penalty, even if they don't intend to (and don't happen to) kill anybody?

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm sorry if I see a difference between an act which kills 3000 people and one which would likely, even if succesful, not kill anybody.

So you're saying human lives killed are not as tragic of a loss as destruction of material things that can be replaced??

Humans are replaceable. In fact, they're easily manufactured from unskilled labor.

We now have "The Dildobomber"?

ACK!
