Amend? Weasel wording.
Yeah, read the whole article. it is all pretty weaslely. Nothing is clear. It says Petraeus knew almost immediately, but the numerous differing reports clouded the picture and the White House “fog of war” explanation began to break down pretty quickly. yada, yada, yada.
No, that’s a euphemism. Weasel words are ones that have been deprived of all meaning though their outside appearance stays the same, like how weasels are said to suck out the inside of eggs while leaving the shell mostly intact. A classic example is “social,” which is routinely placed before other words (insurance, justice, conscience, etc.) to make people feel good or win arguments and influence people without adding meaning.

Get the popcorn ready!!!
