"Nothing in the governing statute supports the Orwellian notion that an American company may be branded a potential adversary and saboteur of the U.S. for expressing disagreement with the government." Well.. we live in Orwellian times.

I am completely unfamiliar with anything like that happening in 1984. I am familiar with Orwell writing about the decline of logical reasoning in favor of vague and politically charged platitudes--like calling a political administration "Orwellian" when you're supposed to be discussing a legal decision.
