"Terrorist" is a word used so often and so loosely that it has lost a clear meaning.
Terrorist has joined the catalogue of such words as: communist, racist, anarchist in there over use as a means to scare, coerce or even intimidate average citizens into making foolish emotional decisions.
COCK, I know you live in a vacuum and are unaware of the fact that the moral compass of America Bill OReilley was slapped with a sexual harasment lawsuit by a network executive and was recorded over a period of time being a "jerky" with this young lady.
Mr. OReily paid this young lady a large sum of money for the audio recordings and a nondisclosure of the nature of his transgressions as well as no future legal procedings.
A witness is someone that has testified in a inprogress legal proceding.
It is not illegal for a witness to gain financially after a proceding has been resolved.
However, financial gain of a "potential" witness in a pending proceding will disqualify said witness.
But you already knew that from the OJ race case where the only resemblence to a witness to the double murder was disqualified from testimony because he wrote a book before trial began.
