Since the hostages in question were basically killed just like cows are killed in slaughterhouses it seems appropriate. Is there a certain # of cows that have to be killed in a facility before it can be referred to as a slaughterhouse? I don't think so.
What is the point of the complaint though? Is there really any legitimate way to distort the nature of these killings in either direction? They are what they are. Nobody's verbage or disagreement with that verbage is going to change any rational person's opinion on just exactly what is taking place.

That's fair enough I suppose.
How would you feel though if CNN described Fallujah as a "Shooting Gallery For American Troops" or if not that then "indiscriminate free-fire zone".
Pretty inflammatory, eh? But that's what it seems to be.
We are all getting conned on this one IMO. There is a real fight going on there and there are 50 thousand civilians in that city.
On a related note, the lead story on CNN at noon was the Peterson trial in California. There is an urban war involving 10 thousand US troops going on and they lead with that? Boooo.
