featherwizardA group of people break laws to deliberately cause harm and suffering so they can further a sociopolitical agenda. Are they terrorists? Dangerous criminals?
Yes. They're also AP reporters, who published a photo of a dying soldier in direct contradiction with their contract and the family's express wishes.

Some of the highest military authorities in the land are protesting this decision, but the AP is laughing it off (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/26759.html). This is appalling. The AP has BROKEN A CONTRACT, not to mention LAWS and caused immense pain to the soldier's family. Every decent person should be up in arms over the exploitative, cavalier and illegal treatment of the Bernard family.
http://michellemalkin.com/2009/09/04/huffington-post-exploits-aps-dying-marin-photo/ has some specific contact info for people at the AP (look in the comments). Also, try the Dep of Defense physical addresses (http://www.defenselink.mil/faq/pis/dod_addresses.html). You can ask a question (ex: What actions are you going to take so that future scumbags faint in terror rather than publish photos of dying soliders?) at http://www.defenselink.mil/faq/questions.aspx or at any of the phone numbers & emails on http://www.defenselink.mil/faq/comment.html.
Happy protesting!
