By then, the name Comey was refusing to say had already been known for nearly 24 hours: Omar Mateen. Other officials quickly followed Comey's lead, with Trump vowing never to use Mateen's name, and Obama never mentioning it. Some local police officials have already started refusing to publicly mention the names of mass shooters, but none with Comey's reach or influence. Comey's pronouncement reflects a change in how federal officials discuss terrorism cases, and it opened the door to questions about whether the intense focus on terrorists since 9/11 has unintentionally glorified them. It was also the latest turn in a renewed debate about the way politicians talk about terrorism.
