I was referring mainly to the following: "You may condemn specific attacks that violate laws of warfare and humanitarian laws such as the Geneva Conventions, but you ought to recognize, at least, that resistance fighters have the legal and moral right to conduct guerrilla warfare within the limits of international law" at <http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/Week-of-Mon-20040209/003281.html>.
BTW, if anyone is curious, I've already elaborated my thoughts on the historically evolved standards of armed struggles in national and other liberation movements in a series of exchanges at another listserv: <http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/marxism/2003w40/author.htm>, <http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/marxism/2003w41/author.htm>, & <http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/marxism/2003w42/author.htm>. The discussion began with my post titled "Re: Salon 'analyzes' the Palestine Solidarity Movement" dated "Thu, 09 Oct 2003 14:51:04 -0400" (at <http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/marxism/2003w40/msg00222.htm>). -- Yoshie
