"Homicide Bomber" terminology dropped?
Noticing that FOX News coverage today is using the term "suicide bombing/bomber" re: London bombings and not "homicide" bombing.

2. It is a stupid decision made by spinmeisters,
and I think they will go back to that (no matter how out of place it seems) but in this case it is important to stress the 'suicide' part in particular on this occasion. They NEED to be 'suicide' bombers.
