Who knows a good word to describe "people who twist words"?

Question

In other words, people like Condy Rice (it's not an escalation, it's an augmentation) or Dick Cheney. This administration are such crazy evil wordsmiths that I feel like they can look right at you with a bomb in thier hand and say "I don't have a bomb" and the American public will believe them! What's a good term for those kind of people?
