rudvs2: I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, but an oxymoron is a figure of speech in which contradictory words are used, so "Dark night" and "Bright Light" don't work (they are redundencies). Also oxymorons are phrases that are commonly used, like "Military Intelligence", the first one you listed, so "Quiet noise" doesn't work because nobody would say that. Having said all that, here are a couple:
Good government
Sweet sorrow
Also like your "Military Intelligence" and my "Good government", a figure of speech is only an oxymoron if you are being sarcastic.
OMG Marty, you're such a killjoy. :D
