CNN: "Terror suspects have no right to be funny!"

Shame on you, CNN!

BTW, what's with all the "suspected terrorist" crap (with "suspected" occasionally being dropped)? What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? Is it OK to call George W. Bush "suspected dog rapist" because I suspect him of this?

Also note the newspeak: it's "suspected TERRORIST" now, not "terror SUSPECT".
