2. The Obama Admin. Has Dropped the Term "Enemy Combatant" for GitMo Detainees - Don't Start Using

See: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/13/enemy.combatant/

Let's hope they don't drag the term back out - ever.

Graham, McInsane, Ayotte, and King can just go take a flying leap. They quickly showed themselves to be unreasonable idiots with their witch hunt over Benghazi and they're not going to help themselves with this. It's becoming apparent they just want to hitch themselves to any tragedy that has the attention of the media and will get them interviews and make us suffer through McInsane on the Sunday shows some more.

On Edit: From the article: "Tsarnaev, they said, 'clearly is a good candidate for enemy combatant status. We do not want this suspect to remain silent.'” Translation: "Let's take him somewhere and torture him to get him to talk."
