Whence the Occupation?

On a related note to that last one, it would seem that Reuters really does have "occupation" on the brain: Notice that Israeli troops were withdrawn from the West Bank city of Jenin—which, incidentally, is known colloquially as "the city of suicide bombers," according to Aaron Klein's excellent book—in the year 2002:

Israeli forces killed two Palestinian militants near the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, the army and Palestinian officials said. REUTERS/Abed Omar Qusini (WEST BANK)


Perhaps Reuters needs to update its stylebook to reflect these "recent" changes? (Many thanks to soccer dad for this excellent catch!)

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
