AP calls them Terrorists and not militants! (No sneer quotes even!)

Troops Kill 75 Terrorists in Iraq Operation

 U.S. forces launched an offensive against terrorists in western Iraq near the Syrian border, and about 75 militants were killed in the first 24 hours, the military said Monday.

It said the offensive, being conducted with U.S. air support in a desert area of Anbar province north of the Euphrates River, was targeting a sanctuary for foreign terroirsts[Sic] and a smuggling route.


What is the news? The AP finally calling the bad guys terrorists or the fact that we put 75 killers away?
You be the judge, but I'm happy about both!
(And Syria's support for Islamist terrorism is still part of our problem...)
