NYT's new word for "terrorists" is the "America-haters." This is in objective NEWS stories.

WTF? This is now what passes for objective journalism, using the word "America-haters" in an article about Bush's alleged foiling of the plot to attack the tallest building in Los Angeles.

Today's NYT (and mind you, this is the reporter's word, not a quote of someone else):

Counterterrorism officials said months ago that the Los Angeles skyscraper (Mr. Bush mistakenly called it the "Liberty Tower") would be a logical target for a West Coast attack, although Mr. Bush had not spoken in detail before about the officials' suspicions. Given the building's iconic status, it is easy to see why America-haters would rejoice at seeing it fall — as some rejoiced when the Twin Towers in New York collapsed.
Apparently the ghost of Judy Miller lives on at the New York Times.
