When are they going to stop calling them Chechyan rebels?
CNN is calling them "hostage takers"
It's despicable that the terrorists still have hostages. Even more despicable is the fact that the news agencies - BBC, CNN, FOX, etc. - are calling them Chechen rebels, hostage takers, gunmen, attackers. Anything, apparently, but what they really are - TERRORISTS. I've been saying it all morning, too. The Chechen Terrorists, I'm sure, are counting on our unwitting legitimizing of their 'cause' by not calling them Terrorists. Blech.
A Russian news source - Newsru.com (in cyrillic)- is calling a spade, a spade. They repeated refer to them as terrorists and their actions as terror.
When they stop calling the Arabs murdering Israeli babies "activists" and "militants."
