description A CNN segment commenting on the 7 July 2005 London terrorist attacks juxtaposes images of three bearded, swarthy men, identified by a reporter’s voice as terrorists: “shoe bombers” Richard Reid and Sajid Badat, and Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, killer of reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan. The voice then states, “What do these men have in common? A British passport.” A large image of such a passport fills the screen, covering and replacing the men’s faces.¹ The segment ends by emphasizing the “risk of home-grown terrorism”; the London terror acts were not only executed but also possibly thought up “at home.”
