There are many different types of terrorism that affect people across the world. They are often different in the goals that they are trying to achieve whether they are for political change, or to simply install fear in the enemy mind. Because there is such a wide variety of reasons to perform acts of terror, it can be difficult to define what a terrorist actually is. In Little Brother Cory Doctrow offers some answers to this question with giving us the examples of Xnetters who are viewed as terrorists, even though they are just a mainly a group of teenagers who are trying to stay in touch with each other with out being watched by the DHS. Also the DHS could be considered as terrorists with their detention of Xnetters and threatening them with being tortured if they didn’t tell the DHS the information they wanted. More specifically when the Xnetters gathered and started messing with the electronic tracking of people within San Francisco, the public became afraid of them and started to believe that they truly were terrorists trying to sabotage the system. The DHS also considered Marcus as the head of the Xnet, declaring him the head terrorist of the group. One of the mysteries that still remain in the book is the question of who the actual terrorists were, and the reason they committed the attack on the Bay Bridge.
