Re: 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?

Just heard the account yesterday of where the suicide bombers are now using children in their cars. This way the soldiers had been thinking that it was not a bombers car because of the children.
I thought it was sick before but now using innocent children to futher your sick ways is simply unbelieveable.
