Conventional wisdom says they have been... on the other side. There's a long history of US government agencies engaging in money laundering, gun/drug smuggling, and basically terrorism. Iran-Contra and Fast & Furious are just two examples that spring to mind.

But it's not "terrorism" when our governments do it. It's just... shit declining empires do.
