Map of the Week: The World in Orwell's 1984

Can't think why the reaction to Scott McClellan's new book put me in mind of this.

What about it recalls Orwell? I am interested in the tie-in, tell me more. Have heard a little about the McClellan book, but no details.

I wonder if McClellan is issuing this book so he can sleep at night, or if he's just another leechy opportunist? Both maybe?

Excellent points. Glenn Greenwald has some fascinating/infuriating details of the media coercion at work during the war build-up today:
