(Per Reuters) Washington says Bin Laden masterminded the September 11, 2001 suicide hijack attacks in the United States, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

I must have missed the part where it stopped being generally accepted that OBL was responsible for 911. I suppose if he is captured Reuters will refer to him by some name like John Smith, rather than his Islamic name.

Alleged terrorist.

Oh, I forgot. Reuters doesn't use that word.

Alleged militant fighter.

Great point!  Reuters' subtleties are quite a sight, aren't they?!  This news item boils down to "I heard that he heard, that he heard...".  It's hard to believe Reuters is actually *in* the news business.  blech!   FReegards.
