I'm starting to think that Fox News should be renamed the "Ministry of Balance", given it's Orwellian inversion of language. Any one else think that this is appropriate?

In Morrowind, there was a Ministry of Truth (a hollowed out moon floating above Vivee) which was just really a prison for heretics. So we can call Gitmo the Ministry of Truth.

But Minitru didn't deal with prisoners. Miniluv did, if I'm remembering it correctly.

You are correct. Minitrue dealt with lies and propaganda, like it's modern counterpart, Fox News or Minibal

Wouldn't Gitmo be the Ministry of Love?

It and Abu Ghraib.
Nah, we're much more likely to have the Ministry of Information (http://static.flickr.com/48/109552812_f12c097f9e_o.jpg).

Comic Ali should have been employed as the Whitehouse Spokesman. Same quality of information.
