Repeat 50 times...they are not enemy combatants, they are terrorists

Words for the reporters at the comPost to remember, from Judge William Young in sentencing Richard Reid (the shoe bomber):

You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier gives you far too much stature. Whether it is the officers of government who do it or your attorney who does it, or that happens to be your view, you are a terrorist.

And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not treat with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists.

We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.

........Custody, Mr. Officer. Stand him down.

And to the Post we say, Custody, Mr. Officer. Stand them down.
