Bin Laden: Architect of New Global Terrorism

This is from 2001, but it continues to this day:

Bin Laden, who U.S. officials have said is the prime suspect in Tuesday's attacks, is widely considered the architect of the new terrorism.

As an architect, I call for a moratorium on describing murderous terrorists who orchestrate savage attacks as "architects." Let's find a new occupation to use for a while. How about we call them "conductors" or "engineers"?

Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?
