Until today.

Today marked the end of the use of the term rogue state as the official United States description for countries that are "disruptive."

On 06-18-2000 on NPR, and again today in an article in the Washington Post, Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State, for the United States, states that this term is no longer going to be used.

Her spokesman, Richard Boucher says that "states of concern" is the term that will be used in its place.

There is NO truth to the rumor that next year the term will changed to places that just better quit it, if they know what's good for them.
