"Man-Caused"?

Look, I understand the desire of the new administration to distance itself from the prior administration, but this is utter bullshit:

SPIEGEL: Madame Secretary, in your first testimony to the US Congress as Homeland Security Secretary you never mentioned the word "terrorism." Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?

NAPOLITANO: Of course it does. I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word "terrorism," I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.

I mean, really, WTF, are you some kind a namby pamby idiot? Chernobyl was man caused disaster. Flying a plane full of innocent people into a skyscraper is terrorism. Call a spade a spade.

Didn’t these people learn anything from the 9-11 report and all of the mistakes identified in that report by the Clinton Administration? Hello? Napolitano, here’s a dime, time to phone home for a clue about how the real world works.

Politics of fear? And just what kind of politics was it that the current White House used to get the last two, pork laden spending packages passed? Was it the politics of a doom and gloom and a glowering President Obama?
