I get it. Of course, it would be a frigid Friday in Hell before the NYT refers to the US employing or causing "terror." They also won't refer to rough interrogation techniques used by the US as "terror" or Israel's "security barrier" as a "wall." Such usage would go against their Party Line; it would be Politically Incorrect. Calling Dr. Orwell!
