“At the top of the executive branch, President Obama and his team favor Orwellian euphemism, preferring wordblobs like ‘disposition matrix’ to the harsh Anglo-Saxon of ‘kill list’ — mumbling ‘kinetic military action’ when what they really mean is ‘war.’  But further down the administrative ladder, the language sometimes gets admirably blunt. The National Security Agency has programs with names like ‘TRAFFICTHIEF’ and ‘PANOPTICON.’ And DHS has even expressed interest in ‘Gorgon Stare,’ a drone-mounted camera array under development by the Air Force that can watch whole cities at a time (and turn the inhabitants to stone?).”
