Political Correctness Gone Amok

There is a short article at Power Line Blog about the terrorist attacks during the past few days.  The article, however, has a slightly different slant–it deals with the reporting.  Power Line Blog is written by three lawyers, and sometimes they have amazing insight in what is happening in our world.  Here is a quote from the article–

Reuters’ caption for the photo begins: “A suspected gunman walks outside the premises of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus or Victoria Terminus railway station in Mumbai November 26, 2008.”

Notice the object the terrorist is holding in his hands. It’s a gun. He isn’t a “suspected gunman,” he’s a “gunman.””
