WOT down the memory hole?

Newspeak can't have it -- we can't nake war or terrorists, just kiss their butts, and be good boys, right?

Experts have welcomed the move away from one of the phrases that has most defined the debate on Islamic extremism, but called it 'belated'. 'It's about time,' said Garry Hindle, terrorism expert at the Royal United Services Institute in London. 'Military terminology is completely counter-productive, merely contributing to isolating communities. This is a very positive move.'

Spoken like a true French.

Should we change a Thesis Defense to a Thesis Justification?
