The POINT is, we have had "terrorist" attacks on our soil, but they were small and we don't like to use the T word if we don't have to.

WAPO and the NYT have rarely used that word. Why is that?

WAPO did not even use it in the article they wrote a while back about the murder of a muslim teacher in Bagdhad. In front of his students, yet. These two dailies are real good at sanitizing the word terrorists but heavy handed when describing anything which is negative Bush.

Americans use the terrorist word freely. It's the media who do not! I'm not sure if Rueters has ever used the word.
