War on Terror: ENOENT Via CRYPTO-GRAM I found this brief article from last month on how the UK government is changing the language it uses to describe terrorism. About bloody time, and IMO the UK government should have known better than to abuse the English language like this in the first place. I particularly like the "London is not a battlefield" quote from Sir Ken Macdonald (DPP), exactly because without a battlefield there never could have been a war (or even a conflict - I never understood why it was often referred to as the Falklands Conflict rather than war).

This is a personal weblog, I do not speak for my employer.
The "War Of Terror" will continue until all serfs know their place!

How could Hani Hanjour fly a 757 through a radical flight path and hit the pentagon when 1 month earlier he couldn't fly a Cessna 172? The Cessna would fit in any driveway on your or my streets.
He must have been channeling Chuck Yeager!
