  Oh come on. Apple's lawyers are using lawful means to represent their
company with regard to legal issues that are by no means obvious.
Terrorists represent their cause by unlawful means (often KILLING 
innocent people).  I really cannot understand why there is an argument
here. (Or have you seen John Sculley gunning down Windows developers
recently?)
