Euphemisation

From the New York Times. Pick one: Bush

  • “overstated evidence”
  • “exaggerated available intelligence”
  • “systematically painted a more dire picture… than was justified”
  • lied

about Iraq before the invasion. Bonus points for what that implies about Tony Blair and the UK Government.
