They were named as terrorists by several human rights groups like the Washington Office on Latin America, the International Human Rights Law Group and Americas Watch.The Contras, of course.
They actually DID everything Reagan accused the Sandinistas of doing. Every human rights group that examined the evidence found that the Contras attacked purely civilian targets and that their tactics included murder, rape, beatings, kidnapping and disruption of harvests.
well, perhaps it was the use of the word terrorist, which is something i wouldn't have normally assigned to them. should it be assigned to them? well, maybe.... but i think i always looked at them from the pov of what our country did during that time as opposed to assigning that particular label.
