Government To Ban Use of Word "Jihadist?"

The Investigative Project on Terrorism has obtained two government memos that outline a new strategy in the War on Terror. Basically, it all comes down to language. Words like "jihadist" and "Islamofascist"--which used to be peppered throughout President Bush's speeches--look to be on their way out. Terms like "violent extremist" and, simply, "terrorist" are in. Bear in mind that Bin Laden, al-Zawahiri and their Al-Qaeda ilk describe themselves quite clearly as "jihadists."  Indeed, the U.S. is battling a global jihad and no amount of clever semantics can change that. Sorry, State Department. Read the actualy documents, plus more background and analysis on this new language game here at the IPTs website. Is this political correctness run amok? Or a shrewd form of outreach to moderate Muslims? What do you think?
