how little fanfare and media attention has been directed to the fact that we have moved from incidents of "terrorism" to a full scale insurgency.

Words do, indeed, have meaning and an insurgency is a considerable step up in its measure of civilian support from terrorist activity which can be isolated and minimal. Insurgency is a military opposition, organized and cannot exist without a degree of popular support.

Now, the question is: what kind of progress does this make? And isn't amazing this transition was made so smoothly by the media? Apparently, having the media "embedded" with the military must mean the same as "controlled," "manipulated," and directed to serving finite agenda.
