In right-wing Newspeak, "expressing your opinion" is code for "blatantly lying, but in a way that helps our cause." The same way "rewriting history" is code for "telling inconvenient truths", and "freedom" is code for "American military hegemony". Just replace those phrases, and things both Cindy and George W. say start to make more sense.
Judith Miller has the right to blatantly lie on our behalf.
Critics of the war have been trying to tell inconvenient truths.
Our soldiers in Iraq are fighting for American military hegemony.
If you're against the war, you're against American military hegemony.
Operation Enduring American military hegemony.
It all makes a lot more sense. Someone should really put out a translation guide.
