Well, it's looking like Fox News is really paying attention to the blogosphere. People have made the point that these are not really suicide bombers, because suicidal people aim only to kill themselves. Instead, it has been suggested, that they be called homocide bombers. Today, their "Fox News Alert" overlay refers to a "Homicide bombing in Israel kills 6, injures 84."

*UPDATE* Fox News anchors are also referring to them as "homocide bombers" when addressing the subject.

*ANOTHER UPDATE* It appears Fox News is using the term because White House spokesman Ari Fleischer is using the term. We'll see if it starts to catch on. CNN is still using the old suicide bombing term.
