Rumsfeld's Epiphany

So, two and a half years later, Rummy decides that the insurgents aren't really insurgents and he calls the idea an epiphany. This administration thinks that it's dealing with children when it spins its policy. Just how does not calling the insurgents insurgents make any difference in what's going on in this country and Iraq? It seems to me that if he's spending his time in wordplay he ought to give a little thought to the meaning of epiphany.
