From the Paper:

"Terrorism is the largest threat to democracy the world has seen. The recent September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon are often perceived as the beginning of a "never ending" war against terror. However, the perceptions of the qualities of a terrorist differ from person to person, which presents a conflict as to who really is a threat, and who is not. For example, the United States Department of Defense believes that a terrorist is a person or group who carries out an attack for a political, religious or ideological purpose whereas, in a time of war, a terrorist would be someone with only a "remote chance of achieving their aims"."
