Law states that the United States government may not grant foreign aid to a country whose military has overthrown a democratically elected government in a coup. Oh, but luckily, our representatives are really good at using misleading words to describe things, and so they'll surely find another word to describe the Egyptian coup that allows us to keep funneling money to Egypt to pay their bills. And based upon the outcome of the coup, which is pretty good for American interests, and especially since it required no U.S. military intervention for a change, I suppose we're really lucky to have such creative types in our government. And it's also nice to see their talents being used on someone besides American citizens for now.
(BTW: Does creative use of language designed to mislead qualify as "creative writing"?)
