The thing with 'terrorist' is that it's become a catch-all term for 'people we don't like'. I think David Cameron's definition of 'terrorist' was 'someone who tried to influence the government' - without regards to whatever method they're using. In the UK, you can be a 'terrorist' by standing outside a building carrying a sign and 'inconveniencing' someone - especially if that someone is sufficiently wealthy.
The terrorists we don't negotiate with are the ones who hijack a plane full of women and children and threaten to blow it up in 24 hours if their demands aren't met NOW.
Everyone else is just a different kind of enemy.
