4-Year-Old Boy Recommended for Counter-Terrorism Program After Saying 'Cooker Bomb' Instead of 'Cucumber'

4-Year-Old Boy Recommended for Counter-Terrorism Program After Saying 'Cooker Bomb' Instead of 'Cucumber' - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
A 4-year-old boy who mispronounced the word "cucumber" as "cooker bomb" so freaked out his pre-school teachers that they recommended him for a de-radicalization program.
This happened in Britain, where nursery staff clearly couldn't keep a stiff upper lip when faced with all the horror that is a pre-schooler with pronunciation problems.
In their defense, it wasn't just the way the boy garbled the name of the salad staple.
He had also drawn a stick figure of a man cutting that vegetable with a giant knife.
No wonder they wanted to ship him off to the counter-terrorism brigade!
That's two counts against the radical little rugrat.
As we know very well in America, even the drawing of a weapon can be considered a weapon. 
...Which means we are all suspects.
Even preschoolers."
