As most who spent time in Viet Nam know, today's terrorists are using tactics honed by the Viet Cong and NVA in Viet Nam, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and the Pathet Lao in Laos. Unfortunately, the American media and their leftist friends never bothered to report on the myriad atrocities they committed (especially the genocide of highland tribes in Viet Nam), and when they did it was always couched in a sort of Orwellian newspeak that apologized for any action undertaken by an enemy guerrilla force.
Unfortunately, with regard to the media's treatment of our enemies, we are beginning to see history repeat itself.
