One MSM Insitution is Starting to Get It

Thanks to Tom Blumer of BizzyBlog for pointing out this LGF post about the Dallas Morning News resolving to cease using the word 'insurgent' when they mean 'terrorist':

Two words not uncommon to editorial pages are "resolve" and "sacrifice," especially as they relate to war.

Today, this editorial board resolves to sacrifice another word – "insurgent" – on the altar of precise language. No longer will we refer to suicide bombers or anyone else in Iraq who targets and kills children and other innocent civilians as "insurgents."

The notion that these murderers in any way are nobly rising up against a sitting government in a principled fight for freedom has become, on its face, absurd. If they ever held a moral high ground, they sacrificed it weeks ago, when they turned their focus from U.S. troops to Iraqi men, women and now children going about their daily lives.

Let's hope this is the start of a trend and we can finally see an end to the politically correct nonsense that puts our troops in danger and clouds the issues of what is really going on in the world.
