2. It's the New Doublespeak
Making it easier for big industry to pollute without consequence = "Clear Skies Initiative"

Making it easier for the lumber industry to log old-growth forests = "Healthy Forests Initiative"

Alberto Gonzales characterizing the Geneva Convention as quaint and outdated = America will not tolerate or engage in torture


I'm surprised no one in the administration has come out and publicly declared, "Well, it's not torture if we do it!" It's what they believe anyway, and it isn't as if the so-called liberal media will hold their feet to the fire over it.
