Point of Order for Reuters

By Brian C. Ledbetter | 30 October, 2009

When you issue pictures like this, please remember this cardinal rule:—"Protesters" hold signs and chant slogans. Like this, this, and this. The kind gentlemen in Srinagar, you'll notice, are doing none of that.

Which means that there is probably a much better word that you should be using to describe them.
