Doublespeak

I know what "doublespeak" means. I am looking for a detailed definition. Also, this is the link to the article on "Life under the Chief Doublespeak Officer".

http://www.redstate.com/thirdrailers/2011/08/24/words-matter-life-under-the-chief-doublespeak-officer/

If someone can simplify the meaning, will be really helpful.

Thanks

Hi,

After reading the article couple of times, makes it a bit clear. I was just hoping for a better explanation. Also, doubletalk and doublespeak are different terms. I went around, searched both the terms and found that both terms should not be confused with each other.
