| #4 ... why the line through the terrorist designation? I guess the idea in my mind has been that the reporter first wrote the common sense word (terrorist) and then changed his mind to the more PC word (insurgent) that was actually used in the article. I can see how the other way around makes sense though (that I'm crossing out the reporters PC word & putting the better one in its place). Now, I'm not sure which is better. LOL I may begin to make an effort to see what other R'burgers do and consider switching the way I do it if I see that I'm in the minority. If I remember. |

| #3 Near their bullet-ridden bodies were 21 spent M16 cartridges. How does this erstwhile *writer* know these were "M16 cartridges"? |

| #2 So I have to ask, why the line through teh terrorist designation, and the use of insurgent instead? Muzzies have sensitive feelings, best not to hurt them. Delicate things, the slightest...slight sets them off. No pun intended. |
