White House drops "Enemy Combatant"

In yet another sign of weakness, the Obama administration issued a statement that the term "enemy combatant" will no longer be used to refer to terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

They also stated that international law governs the detention of terrorist suspects, and that only suspects that provided "substantial" support to Al-Qaeda or the Taliban would be considered detainable.

The best part is that under international law it states that all detained suspects are labeled as either POW's, enemy combatants, or unprivileged belligerents, none of which Obama seems to prefer.

Some may see it as irrelevant what we choose to call them, but my point is that it's  just another sign of liberal weakness that will expose us to further attack.
