    I am so sick of these passive article titles. He was tortured to death. He was tortured and murdered. Call it what it is.

      Same.

      It seems as childish as toddlers having broken something by throwing it forcefully on the floor and then pretending that they don’t understand why the thing broke.

      I think they use passive headlines over concern about being sued for libel, but I agree. They really need to call the bluff, because if a party sues for libel, that party has to prove it’s a willful lie. And that would be a very interesting discovery process.
