The P-Moment: (1) Yes, the unfortunate reference to Ms. Pelosi's refutation that she (and other members of Congress) were informed about the waterboarding procedures being used on political detainees. (2) That moment in political and/or public discourse where the public is forced/almost forced to see the light of day and/or other insights into a major, growing scandal.

Waterboard-Gate Affair or Scandal

Waterboard-Gate Affair: Referential name (similar to The Watergate Affair) for the scandal over waterboarding, torture, in violation of 3rd Geneva Convention Article 13 and repeated unproductive abuse of U.S. political detainees and presumed terrorists such as: Abu Zubaydah, Khalid Sheik Muhammad and others. (Unproductive based on recent testimony such as that given by Ali Soufan behind a screen with his voice altered).

Caterpillar

Caterpillar image licensed under Creative Commons by slideshow bob


Caterpillar: Not a new word, but a new meaning with a new symbolism. As of yesterday, we aquired the new knowledge that our administrations have avowed and allowed and defended of/to the use of insects (caterpillars in at least one case) to the use of torture of its political prisoners. Definitions: (1) The introduction of insect(s) onto the skin of a detainee/prisoner for the purposes of making the same believe that the insect(s) have a venomous sting. (2) The symbol of the use of covert - and now overt - torture by the US on its political detainees and prisoners. (3) A now legally acceptable practice of cruel and unusual political punishment in the USA.

Example: "Did you inform the prisoner that they had a caterpillar in their head bag?". "Yes. Yes we did".
