Why is there still a war on terror if our government is pardoning terrorists?
The war on terror, officially Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), is a global military campaign initiated by the United States following the September 11 attacks in 2001, and is the most recent global conflict spanning multiple wars. Some researchers and political scientists have argued that it replaced the Cold War.

What's going on here?
This is who Trump pardoned and/or commuted the sentences of:
In a first for a Jan. 6 case, the judge agreed with the Justice Department that Rhodes’ actions should be punished as “terrorism,” which increases the recommended sentence under federal guidelines. That decision could foreshadow lengthy sentences down the road for other far-right extremists, including former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who have also been convicted of the rarely used charge.

By valorizing political violence and extremist action, the pardons legitimize the actions of a group that our allies overseas consider terrorists, creating a significant national security risk. In Canada, the Proud Boys is listed as a terrorist entity and a “neo-fascist” organization, and New Zealand designated it a terrorist organization and made it a crime to support or join the Proud Boys. The pardons send a clear message that some kinds of political violence are not only acceptable, but won’t be prosecuted. This will embolden violent actors in ways that put us all at risk.

Is the war on terror over now or something? Is it time to terminate any enhanced powers given to the government to fight terrorism like in the patriot act if terrorism is no longer a concern?
