Hell Freezes Over: AP Calls it "Murder"

Buried in this article about the Taliban now saying that they will swap the Korean women hostages for females held in Afghan jails comes the most shocking thing I've seen in the AP since the beginning of the war:

Ahmadi, the Taliban spokesman, reiterated a murder threat against the Christian aid workers.
Seriously, I've never seen any of the major wires call what the Taliban routinely do to their hostages murder. It's always execution or simply killing, but never murder.

Sorta related: Is my old pen-pal and Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf Ahmadi really two people?
