Obama Justice Department is seeking to distance itself from the Bush administration by omitting the term 'enemy combatant' in its filing that defines detention of war prisoners at Guantánamo.
WASHINGTON -- Breaking with the Bush White House, the Obama administration on Friday dropped the term ''enemy combatant'' for suspected terrorists and said international law governed the detention of terrorism suspects at Guantánamo Bay prison, which Obama intends to close.
In a court filing in Washington, the Justice Department also said that only suspects who provided ''substantial'' support to al Qaeda or the Taliban would be considered detainable.
The moves represent a departure from former President George W. Bush's handling of suspects as Obama prepares to close the detention facility.
I suppose O wants to paint a new canvas titled "Everything is Roses and Cotton Candy"
Just because he changes certain words that doesn't make these people any less dangerous to us and our safety.
So we are not calling Taliban and Al Qaeda enemies?
Shall we now refer to them as "Friends of Obama" ?
This sounds like another attempt to re-define the dictionary.
Welfare= Tax Rebate
Illegal Immigrant= Undocumented Immigrant
Drug Dealer= Unlicensed Pharmacist
