Obama Brings Out the Orwellian Double-Speak

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100407/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_terrorism_rhetoric;_ylt=AjI9JjRKs6ENRR479K69qxiyFz4D;_ylu=X3oDMTJtZXJhZ212BGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAwNDA3L3VzX3RlcnJvcmlzbV9yaGV0b3JpYwRjcG9zAzEEcG9zAzIEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yeQRzbGsDbm90YWxsdGVycm9y

Obama now wants to remove terms like "Islamic Radicalism" from the National Security dictionary. The principle, which is good, is that not all Muslims are "radicals" or terrorists.

This superficial change may spare feelings, but what it does not do is end the pointless and costly "War on Terror".

I don't think an Afghan man who loses his life to U.S. Occupying Troops is going to care whether they call him a terrorist or an "Islamic Radical".
