wtf... stupidity department, that's right up there with when we changed Suicide Bomber to Homicide Bomber.
Quote:
The BBC's guidelines state that its credibility is undermined by the
"careless use of words which carry emotional or value judgments".
Consequently, "the word 'terrorist' itself can be a barrier rather
than an aid to understanding" and its use should be "avoided", the
guidelines say.
