A Defining Post

posted by The Vidiot @ 11:32 AM Permalink

Continuing an idea from my friend SteveAudio, here are more entries for The Reality Based Lexicon:
Instead of:

extraordinary rendition

Say:

kidnapping

Instead of:

harsh interrogation techniques

Say:

torture

Instead of:

No one could have predicted ...

Say:

they ignored memos and briefings on it

Instead of:

the Geneva Conventions are quaint

Say:

they have no intention of obeying US or International law.

Instead of:

collateral damage

Say:

they don't care whether they kill civilians or not

Instead of:

unlawful combatant

Say:

people they want to hold indefinitely and torture

Feel free to add your own in comments.
