CWhyA

CWhyA: A questionable "eggcorn" related to our two previous entries (at least): The P-Moment and CQA. Indeed, why have such an agency if the intelligence is questionable?

CQA or C?A

CQA: Central Questionable Agency. That derivative substitution of Questionable for Intelligence in reference to our previous entry: The P-Moment. In other words, if the intelligence from the CIA is questionable (since the Tenet era...at least) is a name change appropriate - or perhaps an epithet veiled in sarcasm?

Bushama: Yes, we know we are offending the sensibilities of many of Obama's crowd, but we are somewhat offended by the decision of the new Administration to protect the old Administration regarding certain policies and activities as regarding torture. (1) The apparent morphing of the old and new administrations. (2) The rather shocking portmanteau of Bush and Obama. (3) The rather shocking realization that the Obama Administration may be defending the Bush Administration in certain illicit areas of US law.

Caterpillar

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".
