“We demand that all criminals, whether they are Saddam [Hussein] loyalists or al-Qaeda members, be chased and tried for their crimes against the Iraqi people,” said Ali Sahib, an Iraqi who “lost his daughter in a recent suicide bombing.”
This was the most encouraging statement in a BBC report about the Iraqi anti-terror rally, in which “hundreds of Iraqis have marched in the capital, Baghdad, to protest against ‘terrorism’ and continuing violence.”
The BBC persists, however, in placing the word “terrorism” within sneer quotes. If they don’t know what it means, they should ask Ali Sahib.
