“With its talk of ‘destroying’ enemies and confronting ‘jihadi terrorists’, France has adopted a language of war for its intervention in Mali that few expected from Socialist President Francois Hollande.  As French warplanes carry out airstrikes and French troops clash with Islamist rebels in the West African country, Hollande and his ministers seem to have taken a page from former US president George W. Bush’s playbook on war-time communications.  French media reported that ministers have been banned from using the words ‘Islamist fighters’ in statements on the conflict and must always refer to rebels as ‘terrorists’.”
