I suppose my position on this is that I'd rather use the words "terrorist" and similarly-loaded words like "murder" as little as possible, because they add only opinionated connotation, and not really any factual information. ... I think we ought to just present facts, and in many cases the facts alone are enough to damn those people who many of us would like to condemn, so we don't need to do so explicitly. ... I do think we can use "terrorist" especially when it's informative, just not when we're trying to make it descriptive. For example, it should be mentioned that the Sept. 11 attacks touched off large-scale fear of terrorism in the US, and a "war on terrorism", and so on.
Agree with Delerium 100%.
