Are you saying that the Reuters policy is such that the word is OK as long as that's the word the subject of the article would have used had he been quoted rather than just reported on?

Reuter's policy is that they will not initiate the use of the word "Terrorist." They will not call someone a Terrorist. Lets look at the key parts of the articles you posted.

The Bush administration plans to impose some sanctions on Syria within weeks for its support of terrorist groups and for failing to stop guerrillas entering Iraq, congressional officials and other sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Doesn't need quotes around it to be initiated by someone else, does it?

It refers to a Nov. 8 Citizen article in which she reported on documents she said had been leaked by Canadian security officials on whether Arar had engaged in terrorist activities.

The documents refer to terrorist.

His plan included a more aggressive effort to cut off terrorist funds

That's what the plan said.

Anti-terrorist police

That is what the police group is called.

part of the Patriot Act that bars providing "expert advice and assistance" to foreign terrorist groups

That is what the Patriot Act refers to.

You will not find usage by Reuters where they say "Terrorists killed...." It is not allowed.
