Rating Hezbollah as a Terrorist Organization or a Participant in the Lebanese Polity for National Unification.
Terrorist Analysis
-- Conspiracy or grouping organization
-- Open advocacy of terrorism as a method of war -- Cell structure and secrecy for resiliency maintenance and command structure
-- Targets of magnitude intended to psychogically damage & shock national wills & particularly civilian non-combatants -- As name suggests - method of 'war' is terror not military confrontive advance notice combat
-- Type of event: terror bombing; assassination; retaliatory murder of suspected informants; mass transportion targeting; food & water adulteration
-- Extortion: including blackmail & kidnapping
-- Motivation of group: national determination resistance; resistance against suppresive government
--Limitation of target theater (ie indigenous government; occupying government; contiguous nation (extended homeland liberation)
-- Method of financing: crime & criminal enterprsise (including narcotics & marijuana - cocaine or contraband); slavery trade; financing by public fundraising in other areas or homelands including public rallies (publc empathy factors)
-- Freedom aspects: group seeks independence or self-dominion within modern international interpretation of self-government / consent of governed .. with consistent civil rights
-- Existing representative government inclusion and participating political arm in an or any open polity.
-- Level of expertise politically-martially-economically -- Commttment of group to non-violent polity joinder; peace negotiations; political transformation; disarming or armaments and combat units inclusion/includability in national armed force of union.
--Training facilties; camps; physical mappable locations
-- Mobility
Status of Terror Label
-- Frequency and recency of activity
-- Political spectrum
-- Religious connection
-- Listing institution (ie government or think tank) -- Calendar & time - history factors of listing agency
Evaluation of Terror Label
-- Evidenced empirically: whole communications interceptions (ie plots); weapons caches & trafficking - especially weapons seeking/marketing including trades;
--Firm evidence of Un-conventional weapons (fertilizer bombs; biological weapons;chemical weapons; radioactive weapons)
--Informants; membership lists
Documentary evidence: captured; itelligence obtained (field or electronic surveillance - including photograpahic evidence)
-- Evidenced by other evidence interpretation: partial communications interceptions; hearsay; shared foreign intelligence; press (free & managed); informants (weighted first-hand or hearsay) A method of analysis intended to determine; label, grade or rate groups as terrorist organizations; including risk options.
Hezbollah, Hamas would each have a terrorist rating based on past acts .. but in Hezbollah's case, it would be regarded as a peace-positive ameliorating group and its targets more localized than other international groups such as al Quaeda; including a greater impression of a localized guerilla force (ie resistance).
NB Israel still occupies the Golan Heights sector adjoining including parcels of the Shaba Farms - Hezbollah's starting point after the 1967 war.
Consider Hezbollah as one would the regard IRS-SinnFein combo -- which still bears a terrorist rating with fundraising limitations in the USA; but, and assess this factor in any group listed or changing, by joinng and seeking political representaton and open-ness by domestic political participation -elections etc., enters an agreement or is nationally and self-policed to restrict or end violence
-- but note splinter factor as where the IRA begot the IRPLA -a violence riented Marxist group unning from Ireland to Colombia with FLN connections and cocaine/narcttics fundraising enterprises & exchanging terrorist and guerilla expertise.
CBS Evening News 7-24-06 ran a filler to a Richard Roth story describing hezbollah as a state within a state - running schools, hospitals, clinics, food stores and distrubtions, charities with its mosques -- sounds similar to the Roman Catholic Church (it runs a church or church organization within a state - so does Hezbollah).
It is against US Law and a violation of international to simply target and murder terrists or suspected members, accessories, of suspected terrorist organizations.
Several of Israel's war practices meet the styling of state terror and constitute war crimes; including her abuses as an occupying force.
US State Department Links referencing the US Code and aspects of the Immigration Acts - defining terror by specific definition in the law are below. The links are for counter-terrorism, the US State Department Terrorist Group List; and a fact sheet about the list.
Because a list cannot be useful if it is excessively litmus-ed or biased; and because US policy must flex with changing realities - the inclusion of a group may limit government policy recommendations and then automaticity may flow rather than better & new case judgements.
Alternatives to fixed listings: accrediting- discrediting or bettering an organization (ie removing it from a list or creating a probation category etc) are encouraged.
Another terrorist organization analysis formula is presented by this blogger -- above -- when and where possible an objective scoring system should be used (variables would be given a numerical weight to sustain a quantum) and groups listed, analyzed with fresher intelligence/evidence of bona fide retreats from terror or peace transformations; as well as the factor of specific US targeting or US interests targeting.
A ceasefire now please? Internataional forces need not precede it.
