    So who is the man whose "freedom fighter" deliberately
blows up children in cars? Whoever he is, he's got a
serious beating coming.

Here's a Reuters dispatch on a particularly horrific attack in Iraq:

<<< Maj. Gen. Michael Barbero, deputy director for regional operations in the Joint Staff at the Pentagon, said adults in a vehicle with two children in the backseat were allowed through a Baghdad checkpoint on Sunday.

The adults then parked next to a market in the Adamiya area of Baghdad, abandoned the vehicle and detonated it with the children still inside, according to the general and another defense official.

"Children in the back seat, lower suspicion, we let it move through," Barbero said. "They parked the vehicle, the adults run out and detonate it with the children in the back." >>>

Reuters calls the attackers "insurgents" and the attack a "militant" one, but nowhere does the word terrorist appear. That's because, according to Reuters, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

So who is the man whose "freedom fighter" deliberately blows up children in cars? Whoever he is, he's got a serious beating coming.
