I would base it largely upon whom they are attacking. If they are attacking
civilians, then they are terrorists. If they are attacking US or Iraqi troops,
then they are insurgents.
One can actually be rational about this and not resort to ad hominems. This
is a libertarian list, not a Republican or Democrat list where everything must
be couched in partisan terms and the other side is always wrong.

Then we should not refer to them as anything. I can see it now, the
evening new reports that "5 -------- were killed in Faluja while two -

I suppose you like 'freedom fighters?' Ehh, thats a little more
politically correct. I understand that we must always be politically
correct. Never call an enemy an enemy. Hell, never call them
anything. This we must do to show how 'educated' and 'intelligent'
and 'sensitive' and 'understanding' we all are right?
