Do you think the terms (in TAP, and other larger vocabs) need to be
partitioned? Or can they, with some care, be neutral and be the thing
used to bind together different views/contexts? 

ie. should we be looking for a more neutral, persective-binding set of
terms than 'Terrorist' (eg. Militant, ... whatever), or stick with the 
contentious terminology and shuffle things around into value-packs. SO I
might buy into different values much as I use different software
modules.

Tricky stuff... maybe we could work through an example?
