Bizarroworld, line one.

Mind-boggling. We haven't seen a truly Orwellian/Stalinist twist on language from the administration in quite a while-- probably because they've been in "I can't discuss an ongoing investigation" mode for so many weeks.

But now that Libby's been indicted and other stories are in the news, it's showtime for the Bushies, and they're in rare form:

The military said Tuesday 27 detainees currently were engaging in the hunger strike, including 24 receiving forced-feedings. Detainees' lawyers estimated that about 200 are taking part.

Asked about the motivation of the hunger strikers, Rumsfeld said, "Well, I suppose that what they're trying to do is to capture press attention, obviously, and they've succeeded."

He added, "There are a number of people who go on a diet where they don't eat for a period and then go off of it at some point. And then they rotate and other people do that."

That's right, folks-- the Gitmo detainees just called up 1-800-99-JENNY. Nothing newsworthy there. I blame the Muslim culture that forces men to starve themselves to live up to unrealistic ideals in order to just be considered attractive. Tragic.

Sometimes I'm amazed at the fact that a top US official can claim that prisoners who have to be force-fed are just counting carbs. And even more amazed that there's no public outcry.
