Homeland Security Secretary Replaces 'Terrorism' With the Term 'Man-Caused Disaster'

[DrRP08]

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?

Janet 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.

Wow.

And now the Obama administration is entirely equal to the New Labour government in my eyes.

"SPIEGEL: This sounds quite different from what we heard from the Bush administration. How will the new anti-terror policy differ from the previous one?"

Only a couple of words here and there, obviously.

The Democrats aren't 'in' two months and a new euphamism is already coined.
