What label best fits "War in Iraq"?

Mop-up operation or a raging war? Occupation or liberation? The press has long been divided on what to call the current conflict in Iraq...
You may remember, in my notes posted last March, i.e. The Media Function of the Iraq War, I was not sure what label would best fit the war in Iraq...
Editor and Publisher notices that the Washington Post is reconsidering its many-months-old practice of running news about the war in Iraq under the label Postwar Iraq.
E&D adds:
The New York Times no longer runs Iraq news under a continuing heading.
