At a press conference earlier in the week, White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz explained to reporters why the Obama administration doesn’t categorize the Taliban to be “terrorists” but rather “armed insurgents.”
Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren has some news for the White House involving the people they classifies as non-terrorists:

The Taliban have claimed responsibility for an attack in Kabul that left three American contractors and one Afghan dead:
