As I explained before, there is no contradiction. There is a definition of “state” in the Foreign Enlistment Act that's extremely broad. It covers off entities that purport to be the governing authority not of a country but of a particular region. It's an extremely broad definition. It's very different from the modern understanding of state that's found in the Criminal Code.
So we're dealing here with apples and oranges, not necessarily with contradictions between oranges.
