"By early June, the Secretary-General of the UN... had taken to describing the slaughter in Rwanda as 'genocide.' But the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights still favored the phrase 'possible genocide,' while the Clinton administration actually forbade unqualified use of the g-word. The official formulation approved by the White House was: 'acts of genocide may have occurred.' When Christine Shelley, a State Department spokeswoman, tried to defend this semantic squirm at a press briefing on June 10, she was asked how many acts of genocide it takes to make a genocide. She said she wasn't in 'a position to answer,' adding dimly, 'There are formulations that we are using that we are trying to be consistent in our use of.'"
