I don't see this as just PC.

Of course it's PC. You insist on "terrorists" and find "insurgents" unacceptable. No different than insisting on calling those who respond to fires "firefighters" rather than "firemen." PC is about insisting on the "correct" label and reading disrespect into other labels that, while they communicate just fine, don't have the preferred spin. Anyone who says "insurgents" is perceived soft on terrorism. Any who says "firemen" is perceived as a male chauvinist. If you don't want to be perceived as a bad guy, you must use the politically correct word. IMO folks who insist on political correctness, er, "have issues."
