Anyone can be a terrorist, and the country can choose to keep this war going on forever because there is no definitive \u201cwin\u201d. The article states that historically anyone who protests government is believed to do it on behalf of a foreign government therefore they have had counterintelligence investigations opened on them. This can lead to the violation of several basic rights.
