What’s in a Name?
While “Operation Infinite Justice” was a bad cover name for our fight against terrorism, “Operation Enduring Freedom” is worse. It is unfortunate that the PR folks have gotten hold of the development of public code names ever since the 1989 “Just Cause” invasion of Panama. But if the name has to convey a message, at least make it a clear one.
“Enduring Freedom” sounds like freedom is something that has to be patiently tolerated, rather than a cherished human right.

In lieu of Operation Infinite Justice, how about Operation Hide and Seek? Simple and to the point.
