Look what is on the cnn.com site about the latest attack:

6 killed in Jerusalem terror attack

Israeli police say at least six people were killed today when a suicide bomber set off a blast at a bus stop in Jerusalem. Ambulance services say at least 35 people are hurt. It was the second terror attack in Jerusalem in two days. Sources in Gaza said the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a militant wing of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, was responsible for the attack.


Notice anything unusual? "Terror attack" with no scare quotes? "Suicide bomber" with no mention of "Al Aqsa militants" or "activists"?

Methinks CNN is doing some CYA, distancing itself from Ted Turner's comments.
