I get it. Of course, it would be a frigid Friday in Hell before the
NYT refers to the US employing or causing "terror." They also won't
refer to rough interrogation techniques used by the US as "terror" or
Israel's "security barrier" as a "wall." Such usage would go against
their Party Line; it would be Politically Incorrect.

Calling Dr. Orwell! To him, political prose was formed "to make lies
sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of
solidity to pure wind."
