My San Antonio.com: Susan Ives: Assassinate, kill, whatever: Expect more death

"Let's face it. Yassin was a 67-year-old quadriplegic on his way home after praying at a neighborhood mosque. I venture to guess the Israelis had a pretty good idea where to find him on any given Monday morning.

Yassin wasn't in hiding. He had a house in what the AP called 'the rundown Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City.' If reporters knew it, you can bet the Israeli army knew it too. He had a handful of bodyguards.

Don't tell me the Israeli Defense Forces were incapable of scooping up an elderly man in a wheelchair and hauling his sorry ass back to jail. They could have if they wanted to. But they chose to assassinate him.
"

Susan Ives chides the AP for using the term "kill" rather than "assassinate", indirectly pointing out the "big lie" factor in the mainstream press.
