A tale of two terrorists

On July 6th, 2011 we noted a Reuters story that sought to play down nearly universal recognition of Hamas as a terrorist group.

By way of comparison, Reuters has apparently no difficulty identifying all of the countries which consider the Kurdish PKK a terrorist group:

On Thursday night the PKK, designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, carried out simultaneous attacks in Turkey's southeastern Siirt province.

We're trying very hard to discern the difference between Hamas and the PKK.

Ah yes; their targets.
