Notice how carefully the article (about the religious conspiracy to murder police officers for the purpose of intimidating people they disagree with) avoids using the word "terrorist"?

I knew you'd have this up. I prefer my headline: Fundamentalist Religious Terrorist Group Plots to Target Law Enforcement Officers with IED in Terrorist Plot.

I like your headline. All it needs is the word "Christian".

But I wasn't posting about the *news*. I *expect* "Christian" to be synonymous with "psychotic bigot nutjob" and consider it news when they're *not*.

I wasn't posting about the news. I was posting about how CNN *covers* the news.

I left Christian out as an ironic commentary that they left 'terrorist' out.

Also, if you watch that video on their website, they're apparently Sisters of Mercy fans. Who'd have guessed?

Damn, I knew that sounded familiar.
