Desperados?

Reader comment on item: [Beslan Atrocity:] They're Terrorists - Not Activists

I recall hearing Howard Cossel's discription of the Munich Olympic massacre where he described the terrorists as "desperados".

In Canada the media tends to refer to terrorists as terrorists only when it does not involve Palestinians. In their case they are "militants".
