Don't you just love the euphemisms of war? Collateral damage, etc?
And then there is this one from Iraq, "American security contractors."
Love it, what a wonderful term for mercenaries -- killers and bullies who don't have to pay any attention to even the absurdly loose 'rules of war' of more organized armies.
And the corporate media, of course, is always so careful to use the euphemism, lest people get a glimpse of one of the truths of our obscene war* in Iraq.
