Later US used this newspeak concept many times to approve mass kills and plain agression. I have to admit that American propaganda is much more effective then Soviet. Even people like you and Cabby, who probably understand the real reasons for American politics, sometimes are victims of this constant brainwashing. 
Only brainwashing I see is that "US rule" (zipped (tm)) attitude going on in the media.
and of course some of those favorable speeches of congress to approve some war actions.
I do still remember that one guy who was filth mouth and then after asking him where he lives, he responded "USA and proud of it!", which after response was "like I thought"
He did get the trick anyway, since he went "doh" and understood the point. (now he actually started to behave)
