DOUBLESPEAK: 

“In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible … Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness … the great enemy of clear language is insincerity. Where there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, ….”  (George Orwell : “Politics and the English Language“)

In simpler terms, Doublespeak is pure BULLSHIT.  The speaker’s intent may be uninformed, innocent, well intended or treacherous, but it is still Bullshit.
