Except, of course, the US changed the definition of "enemy combatant" in 2001. So, where's the revision?

Revision in modern context is spin/fabrication for PC sake. Updating terminology isn't necessarily revision.

Calling a terrorist attack a "man made disaster" in not being PC? That's like President Truman calling the Korean War a "police action'

Terrorist attack is a man-made disaster? Ugh, friggin euphemistic language softens us all.
