Evildoers beware!
From a report on attacks on the Green Zone in Baghdad. I remember this term being thrown about by the President earlier in the GWOT, but I hadn't seen it for a while:
The violence is a continuation of hostilities between American and
Iraqi troops and Shiite militants, labeled "criminals" and "evildoers"
in U.S. military releases.

The U.S. military reported other incidents on Sunday:
A
U.S. aerial weapons team killed one "criminal" in northeastern Baghdad
after he attacked U.S. soldiers with small-arms fire at 8:30 a.m., and
U.S. soldiers killed one "evildoer" at about 10:50 a.m. in northeastern
Baghdad after he attacked their checkpoint with small-arms fire.
If you ask me, garden-variety "evildoers" are small potatoes. Frankly I won't be satisfied that we're getting our tax dollars' worth until I hear we're wiping out some arch-superfiends. And, anyway, what kind of evil was he doing? I want details.
Let's face it. I'm just jealous because we seldom get to use the term "evildoer" in corporate press releases.
