“We regard the Taliban as an enemy combatant..."


Don't dismiss this as irrelevant. Those who control the language control the culture. The context of a word terrorist defines it as a huge negative, a label to feel shame for. This is contrary to the goals of the administration, for some odd reason.

Lots of places where the control of language is being used to shape culture. Ever heard the press call abortion anything but a woman's choice?
