Didn't catch the Hardball program. I want to know if Brian Williams was already in London before the airline events unfolded this morning.

Never mind all that.
Are you trying to ruin a good bashing thread?

I can think of lots of words to describe the scum who tried this, but "martyr" wouldn't be one of them. 1 posted on 08/10/2006 6:59:04 PM EDT by hanamizu

They intended to martyr themselves. It was a suicide mission, after all.

I'm sure you would also NOT have problem with those descriptions either!

A martyr is one who submits to death rather than recant his convictions. It is not one who intentionally kills others and seek out death in the process.
The first is martyr, the second is murder.

I am aware of that. But I couldn't get over the use of the word martyr. To me it it is a positive term and refers to one willing to die for one's faith--not willing to murder or kill for one's faith.

Doc,
I think you have it in a nutshell. No US reporter would have used 'martyr' to describe Nazis defending Berlin or kamikaze pilots during WWII.

" But I couldn't get over the use of the word martyr .."
That caught my attention, also.
He also seems to be attributing the term to " investigators." Which I doubt, BTW.

It was to be a martyrdom operation.... I don't have a problem with his wording.Dog, here in NETX, folks call statements like that, "....a sure sign of bein' eat up with the dumb@$$..."

He should have said: "glorious martyrs" to be consistent with their over all programming.
