#1 MILITANT?

For God's sake -they were trying to blow up a DAM, and killl THOUSANDS. THis is pureey a terrorist act, given the context.

If that's not a terrorist then the press has completely lost its collective mind.

... and sadly enough, it has. The terminology in this article is proof. Why can't the press call a spade a spade anymore?

#7 I don't know, OS, why people like the AP (A$$ociated Pre$$)insist on trying to be *quote quote* neutral in their presentation of news. They are sick delusional suicidal idealogues. It is a sickness, the trouble is that it will get THEM and US killed. That is how I look at it.

#8 At the AP only Bush, Blair and Howard are terrorists, all the rest are militants, freedom fighters or revolutionaries.

99.9% of Journalists are a waste of human skin. To the wall with them. No I am not joking. They are helping to destroy western civilization and culture along with the legal "profession" screw them all. Their are too few decent folk among them to redeem them.

#9 Well as a great number of people are starting to believe, the MSM isn't biased, IT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE.
