Ah, politics.
The same tools and tactics that are used in marketing and advertising are used in politics. Check out how the Obama administration has learned to use language to sell its programs and policies.
And of course this did not begin with Obama. In our previous administration we didn't have POW's, but "enemy combatants". There wasn't any torture by the U.S., only "enhanced interrogation techniques." You get the idea. So do all the politicians.
Citizens, beware.
