U.S. Officials Retool Slogan for Terror War - New York Times

U.S. Officials Retool Slogan for Terror War - New York Times (free reg. req'd). Instead of "global war on terror", now it's a "global struggle against violent extremism." Or rather, a "jihad against jihadists" if you prefer. Or maybe a "struggle against strugglers" to get way too meta about the whole thing.

But apparently "war on terror" is a little too...military for the Bush administration. See, they want to turn their attention to solving this problem through diplomacy and law enforcement; you know, the strategy Clinton used to keep us safe for eight years. Oh, but I thought the liberals wanted to send terrorists into therapy... No, we just want to send conservatives into therapy. Terrorists we'd rather bring to justice.
