Editor,
While I know that honest, unbiased and fair reporting seem to be concepts difficult for the Los Angeles Times to grasp, I am still curious as to why, in reporting about the Chechyn terrorists who captured 800 hostages at the theater in Moscow, they are referred to as "Militants" or "Rebels", but no mention is made that they are Moslem terrorists and that there were several Arabs among them from Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Is the Times too concerned about not offending people that it has to color the truth? Whatever happened to objective and truthful reporting?
Merriam-Webster dictionary - terrorism: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.
