- Summary:
- In 1985, President Ronald Reagan received a group of bearded turban-wearing men who looked like they came from another century. After receiving them in the White House, Reagan spoke to the press, referring to his foreign guests as "freedom fighters." These were the Afghan mujahideen. Eqbal Ahmad holds up the concepts of "terrorist" and "freedom fighter," to U.S. foreign policy.
