“unprivileged enemy belligerents”

Obama Administration expands use of “newspeak” with terrorists.

When it comes to Department of Defense doctrine on military treatment of detained persons, “unlawful enemy combatants” are a thing of the past. That term has been retired and replaced by “unprivileged enemy belligerents” in a new revision of Joint Publication 3-13 on Detainee Operations, dated November 13, 2014.

It’s another addition for my:

Democrat-Progressive-Liberal Orwellian Dictionary

“The Science is Settled” or “It’s not debatable,” etc., = anything they WISH were true but haven’t the facts to support.

Obstructionist = When Republicans-Conservatives refuse to yield completely, without the possibility of compromise, to Democrat desires.

Bipartisanship = When Republicans cease being obstructionist and agree completely to the Democrat-Progressive-Liberal desires.

Tolerance = Even when you disagree with us, we still let you live, don’t we? Too bad it’s only in the back of the bus, suck it up and thank us profusely or we may change our minds.

“Of the people, for the people, by the people”: clearly means “We the few, will tell the rest of you, exactly what to do.”

An own goal or major entirely preventable error that gets people killed = ‘The Fog of War.’

Budget Cut = A definite budget increase, but slightly lower than had been planned.

Democrats are never involved in wars, only Overseas Contingency Operations.

“Doing something” = 1) Give a Speech; 2) Tweet a picture of a woman with a sad face holding up a hash tag.

Liberal Opinion = Definition of meaning or fact.

Illegal aliens = new lifelong Democrat voters.

Honor a heroic or national figure like Neil Armstrong, Rosa Parks, etc., = present a picture of Obama.

History = 1) whatever we decide at the time to say it was 2) whatever spin benefits us politically.

Liberal think tanks are intelligent and factual. Conservative think tanks are an oxymoron, and a propaganda arm of the Right Wing charged with fabrication, invention, and deflection.

Illegal aliens = People who are not, shall we say, fully documented, of U.S. citizens (h/t Pelosi).

Undocumented minors = Illegal alien young men with gang affiliations and criminal records.

War = “Overseas Contingency Operation.”

Terrorist attack on U.S. soil = “work place violence.”

Terrorist = “Unlawful Enemy Combatant.” Oops, strike that, it’s out. Now they are “Unprivileged Enemy Belligerents.”

Foreign invasion of sovereign nation = ‘Um . . . uh . . . to act, uh . . . to cross the border in an unauthorized way.”

Hum…. I guess a bank robbery will now be considered to simply be an ‘unauthorized loan,’ and Underprivileged Enemy Belligerents will be soon be known as ‘Misunderstood Future Friends,’ right?
