Paradix or Dickundrum: The unfortunate conflations of Dick Cheney with paradox and conundrum.  Any politico apparently openly confessing to the application of extrajudicial and (therefore) illogical measures to any alleged war criminal or terrorist or other similar persons.  The obvious corollary being that application of same disproves the very argument presented by said proponent by virtue of implication of similar war crimes or other extrajudicial measure.  QED.

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".
