"Terrorist" removed from lede per WP:UNDUE

edit

There was a good-faith attempt of depicting this action as "terrorist" in the page's intro. The cited sources, however, were just a couple of conservative newspapers mentioned in the somewhat sympathetic interview of journalist Ceferino Reato to the late General Jorge Rafael Videla. Other reliable sources (among them historian Richard Gillespie) describe the attack as a "guerrilla action". Citing 1970s' press analysis is to give undue weight to primary sources. As an example we have the American media in WWII, which dubbed all German fighting forces as "Nazis" for propaganda reasons, while tertiary, printed sources after the war describe them just as "German".--Darius (talk) 22:09, 19 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
