the Ecologist: Weasel words
"In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence
of the indefensible. ... Thus political language has to consist
largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness,
" George Orwell wrote fifty-five years ago in his essay "Politics
and the English Language". In this month's Ecologist, Paul
Kingsnorth points out the relevance of Orwell's words today. "An
entire political culture has been built on one delightfully simple
premise: to get away with doing something downright evil, it's not
necessary to change your behaviour, it's just necessary to change
the language you use to describe it," Kingsnorth writes. He gives
the example of the Bush administration phrase "pre-emptive
defence." According to Kingsnorth, this means "attacking anyone we
want to and justifying it by saying that they might attack us one
day."
