As George Will says, do not read Reuters:

Reuters' 'Holy War'

A Reuters dispatch with the joint dateline KABUL/WASHINGTON includes the following paragraph:

With the campaign now in its fifth week, a hard-line Pakistani Islamic party said on Monday that thousands of pro-Taliban fighters had crossed into Afghanistan, armed with rocket launchers and swords, to wage holy war against the United States.

So the same wire service that refuses to call Sept. 11 "terrorism" refers, without irony, to the war against America as a "holy" one.
