pet peeve today: i know that in legal terms it is important to call criminals "suspects" until they are convicted at trial, but...

i dunno. like, the dude in the hospital with the severely burned scrotum because he tried to blow up an airplane with his nuts. he's not a bombing suspect. he's the dude who used his gonads as an instrument of terror (like Dignan).

Responses:

"Person of Interest" I mean he hasn't actually been formally charged yet? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 4, 11:04
he probably should have just put his nuts on someone's drumset. -- nm - Diva Jan 4, 10:52
what if he was coerced? (not that I believe it for a second) -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 10:52 1
- then his lawyers and folks should still say "suspect", but we would all collectively forgive CNN, right? i mean, c'mon. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 10:53
