"Ditching the Term"

The Obama administration is “ditching" the term "enemy combatants,” just as they have stopped using the term “Islamic terrorists.” This is a common politician’s scam; if a term “falls out of favor,” just change the name. It works when you want to make a law, without making a law, or ignore an existing law. For instance, if the law says you can’t do something, just call it something else. There are many TAXES on the books, but they are called “fees.” In Colorado, for instance, Gov. Ritter, who says “Now is not the time to raise taxes,” has raised the “fee” to register your car by $45 a year. For me, that raises it 200%! All bypassing the legislature. (Just common sense)
