Word-a-day calendar in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing.
I swear I just heard this on NPR, driving home from work. Speaking at a White House press conference, President Bush clearly and distinctly said that prisoners at Gitmo are "trained to disassemble." After a long pause, he helpfully told the puzzled press corps that disassemble means "to not tell the truth".
Uh, I believe the word you're looking for is dissemble, Mr. President.
