What does all this mean? I would say to the League, if you have a point then state it. But don't try to deceive me with your beguiling language, specious arguments and vacuous phrases. Your spokesman has managed to write a stirring tirade against nothing, and in her zeal she has destroyed whatever honesty she started out with. More importantly, your group once again has justified Orwell's famous statement that political language is the defense of the indefensible. MichaelKorn...
...zeal, the KCIA is regarded in Washington as a ham-handed offspring of the U.S. CIA-which has helped finance the KCIA in the past.

...there are wide differences within each main camp. In general, the moderates could just as well be called pragmatists; they tend to be more flexible than the radicals, more concerned with practical results than the way the results are achieved. The radicals, in contrast, believe with a religious zeal in the need for ideological purity.
