Why are they called "insurgents"?
Sure, there were traditionally-defined insurgents in the beginning of this conflict (the "Baathist holdouts", mostly). Now these car bombers and death squad psychopaths are often hate-filled thugs out to kill people following the wrong branch of Islam. Yet the media refers to them all as "insurgents". Are the media simply trying to be inoffensive?
