"Exploiting atrocities to settle political scores through guilt by association is a nasty game but if we are going to play it, I’d start with Reuters or, more precisely, what we might call the Reuters Doctrine. After the 9/11 attacks, there were individuals and groups (emphatically including the policy institute I head) making the case that terrorism should be defined as the use of violence against civilians to further a political cause, and that expressing a grievance by intentionally killing other people’s children is never justified.
Reuters disagreed."
