What do you have to do to qualify for the term "terrorist?"

From CBS News:

An Iraqi legislator was shot and killed by militants who stormed into her house in a middle class neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, underscoring fears that the political impasse has emboldened insurgents to step up deadly attacks in recent weeks, after a lull following the Jan. 30 elections.

Lamia Abed Khadouri al-Sakri, who was elected to the National Assembly on the ticket of Allawi's Iraqi List party, was shot and killed by militants in her house in Baghdad's Hay Aur neighborhood, police Capt. Ali al-Obeidi said.

She was the first member of the parliament elected on Jan. 30 to be slain by insurgents as they target senior lawmakers and Iraqi politicians in a bid to further destabilize reconstruction efforts in the country.

Militants? Insurgents? This woman was a democratically elected representative of the people of Iraq, gunned down in cold blood in her own home. She was in no way a military target. Her death had no military value.

Why are these reporters and editors so scared of calling it what it is? There is no way that these real-life orcs who murdered her can be described as anything other than terrorists.

Splash, out
