HONESTY HAS A NAME: HELENA INDEPENDENT RECORD

Assalamu aleikum.

Of all the media in the United States, the only one with honesty to clearly mark yesterday's Virginia Tech slaughter as an act of terror is the Helena Independent Record of Montana.

News editors usually retitle articles that are sent them by the major news services. While reprinting the Associated Press article by Adam Geller (below) the editor of the Helena Independent Record retitled the article as "Terror has a name: Cho Seung-Hui".

So far, of all the thousands of corporate news outlets this is the only editor with the gumption to characterize the situation as it really is.

Terror has a name: Cho Seung-Hui

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - A Virginia Tech senior from South Korea was behind the massacre of at least 30 people locked inside a campus building in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, the university said Tuesday.

Ballistics tests also show that one of the guns inside that building was used in another shooting two hours earlier, at a dorm, Virginia State Police said.

Police identified the shooter as Cho Seung-Hui, 23, a senior from South Korea who was in the English department at Virginia Tech and lived on campus.

"It's certainly reasonable to assume that Cho was the shooter in both cases," but authorities haven't made the link for sure, said Col. Steve Flaherty, superintendent of the Virginia State Police.

A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the information had not been announced, said Cho was carrying a backpack that contained receipts for a March purchase of a Glock 9 mm pistol.
