Despining Reuters

This article is quite breath-taking. I was going to comment on it earlier, but James Taranto does a much better job.

All I'll add is that, given Reuters' policy to not call their Al Qaeda allies terrorists, Reuters doesn't use the word terrorism until the 7th paragraph. There, they call it "Bush's war on terrorism", intentionally ignoring that Al Qaeda declared war on the West and seeks to exterminate our way of life.

Things like environmentalism, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion (that includes you atheists too), women's lib, etc are all at stake.

And Reuters wants to make it sound like this is some optional confrontation of a President. Oh, and yes, they have to throw in the discongruous "Home-grown extremists" two paragraphs above this.

Sheesh Reuters. Pitiful.
