Orwellian Doublespeak

This week's winner has to be the South African government for charging 270 miners for the crime of murdering themselves. The government is using an apartheid era law from 1956 called "common purpose" to charge the striking workers with provoking the police into killing their thirty four comrades.

New reports that the miners were actually killed by police snipers hiding behind boulders, a mass slaughter.
