#2 PKK is considered as terrorist organisation by EU, US. They killed around 40.000 civils during the last 20 years including babies, mothers, teachers, engineers. Please do not call these terrorists as rebels. They are %100 terrorists.

#3 I love it when the Burg gets drive-by commenters. Especially one-issue commenters. A robotic response probably triggered by the same word-search-thingie used by our resident Greek PITA.

For the record, we didn't call them rebels. Al-Arabiya did. And no- we're not going to censor news postings.

Most of us Rantburgers are quite aware of who and what the PKK is (which is also partly why the US isn't opposing the Turkish operations). Many of us are also aware that many Kurds support the PKK, because the Turks treated their own resident Kurds like crap for ages.

Sheesh.
