"the calculating and cold face of evil"

Paul Vallely in The Independent recognizes evil. And he calls them terrorists, too, the ones who took the 57 second video that all of Russia has seen by now.
Yet their message is clear enough. As the camera passes in the shaky video ­ barely a minute long, and clearly taken by one of the terrorists for propaganda use ­ on the floor we see blood. A few drops here. A streak there. We can only imagine the story the bloodstains tell. But those in the room do not need imagination to know.

Not your usual Independent journo. The rest of them are still using a Thesaurus to avoid using 'terrorist'.
