It’s time to stop honoring the criminals.
When the thugs bring down buildings or set off poison in the subways or set off bombs in public places, we give them the honorifics “enemy combatants” and “terrorists.” Yes, they do cause terror. But they do not deserve titles which give them validation. It is important to catch the bad guys and it is time to call them what they are: criminals and thugs no better than the gangs of the 1930s who drove by shooting anyone in the way of their guns.
