This is impressive piece of reporting that appeared in LA Times. The author exposes, or ridicules American policy makers and their doublespeak . Here it is, take a look:

 

An Era Worthy of Orwell

 

For starters George Orwell is the author whose novel "1984" introduced us to the words doublethink and newspeak. A word he didn't use - but which combines the two - is doublespeak.

 

Doublespeak is saying one thing and meaning another, usually its opposite.

 

In 1984 when BIG BROTHER and the Party say PEACE they mean WAR, when they say LOVE they mean HATE, and when they say FREEDOM they mean SLAVERY.
