“The main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize this administration and me for not using the phrase ‘radical Islam.’ That’s the key, they tell us. We can’t beat ISIL unless we call them radical Islamists. What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change?”

“Don’t tell me words don’t matter! ‘I have a dream.’ Just words? ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ Just words? ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself.’ Just words, just speeches?”
—Obama, February 16, 2008.
And, of course, if words don't matter then the DOJ would have no trouble in releasing the whole, unredacted Mateen transcript from the Pulse attack, but apparently they are very much afraid that do words matter quite a lot.
