Thought crime or terrorism?
Whatever else you want to call this, I don't believe that his conduct amounts to terrorism. I believe that he has been convicted of thought crime.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
Could have been worse he could have run into John Smeaton!

What would have constituted terrorism?

Conspiracy, attempts, possession...sorry, but I think this is one dangerous muppet who deserves to be at Gitmo.
transfattyacid: I think everything on his website was already available on the internet. The thinking might have been present but there appeared to be no physical act.
