Reuters in "terrorism" to terrorism evolution shock? 




Is it a typo, an aberration, a dissenting Reuporter on jihad, a change in policy?

Not once but twice in a single news report we today find Reuters using the the word "terrorism" without scare quotes:
The United States accuses Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, of supporting terrorism and of aiding the insurgency in Iraq. Iran says its nuclear program is to generate nuclear power.

... President George W. Bush delivered a speech at the U.N. General Assembly in which he said the Iranian government was using the country's resources to fund terrorism and pursue nuclear weapons.
