I've been wondering why the entire media has been soft peddling this story.

Because the atheist journalists might remember they have to fly on occasion.

Maybe they think that not reporting this as terrorist acts will
discourage other Islamic delinquents from blowing up more jets.

Of course, they may have been hoping that they could find some angle to pin
the deed on Serbs/Slavic terrorists.

(e.g., the conversion of Islamic terrorists in the book "The Sum of All Fears" to
non-Islamics in the movie version)

That's the key: Islamic. The sooner the civilized world realizes this the better chance we have at fighting this WOT. It ticks me off when they try to distinguish between different terror groups. They all have the same common denominator: radical Islam. Take the two two guys they caught yesterday with plans to blow up a NYC subway. Officials claim there is no known connection to Al Qaeda. So if they don't carry their AQ card in their wallets, they don't qualify as terrorists?

Erly on before they were reporting that this was terrorism and people were saying if thi sis terrorism why hasn't anyone claimed it yet. I got to thinking about this and while some groups take credit right away, others seem to wait. Maybe waiting for their people to get back to safe houses or something.

Look at the various plane crashes we've had that people thought terrorism, but it would get brushed off by authorities as not being terrorism.

Then we get 9/11. No mistaking that one. Had it been only one plane, they probably would have tried to say it was pilot error, maybe even suggest the pilot had a heart attaack or something. But, with two planes, it was too hard to explain away.

I think that's why they do things in multiples now, because too many governments were hiding the facts that they were terrorist activities.
