One of the questions (click on the picture below to see) is "Which words do you use to describe small talking teddy bears?" And the choices are: Terrorists, or Freedom Fighters.
The reference is to the Ewoks on Endor, and to the quote "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." This idea drives Reuter's avoidance of the use terrorist. ("We all know that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and that Reuters upholds the principle that we do not use the word terrorist.")
The answer to place you on the light side of the force is that they are freedom fighters. But I have to wonder about the politics of the author of this poll, and what he thinks, for example, about the Palestinians.
