In Newspeak the meaning of words is obliterated so that the underlying thought can also be obliterated. In OldSpeak a conspiracy theory was substantial evidence of two or more people conspiring to take an action. In NewSpeak a conspiracy theory is a crackpot idea of outlandish paranoia. How then, are we to speak of the conspiracy of neocons? TP

That is what I'm talking about ... mendacity, deception, and a cover-up of incompetence. That is what I'd like to focus on. Thanks for that post and video: youtube.com Excerpt from the transcript (follows video): ROMANS: Investigations are under way by the inspectors general of the Pentagon and the Department of Transportation to find out just why the FAA and NORAD didn't tell the truth. Now, Kean and Hamilton say all the inaccuracies have fueled conspiracy theorists, they've stymied the investigation, and Lou, damaged the credibility of this government. DOBBS: Well, this government doesn't deserve much credibility, does it? In point of fact, if all of the after-action reports are untrue, for whatever reason, that's a lie, because they were asserted as the truth by people who knew better or should have. ROMANS: And really troubling, the Department of Defense's own inspector general report that was declassified showed that if the same thing happened again, you'd have the same chaos and the same misreporting or lies afterward. DOBBS: Incompetence and ineptitude on the part of this government on September 11th and in the weeks and months leading up to it are established. The fact that the government would permit deception after a deception, whether honestly, if you can call it that, honestly intended or not. But the fact that they were continue and perpetuate the lie, suggests that we need a full investigation of what is going on and what is demonstrably an incompetent and at worst deceitful federal government.
