Is There a War on the Term 'War on Terror' -Jake Tapper, Teddy Davis & Kirit Radia
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the Obama administration is no longer speaking of a "War on Terror."
"It's just not being used," said Clinton during a briefing with reporters aboard her plane to the Hague to attend an international conference on Afghanistan. "The administration has stopped using the phrase and I think that speaks for itself," she said at a different point during her trip.
The story began after the Washington Post obtained an e-mail from an official in the Office of Security Review, saying that, "This Administration prefers to avoid using the term 'Global War on Terror' (GWOT). Please use 'Overseas Contingency Operation.' "
