I agree that usually Dark Horizons is a good source for upcoming news.

Dan is correct. Spielberg did edit out the word "terrorist" from ET.
However, this was done before it was released on home video more than 10 years ago, and NOT due to the recent tragedys.
I noticed this immediately when I watched the VHS version so many years ago for the first time...
