Terrorism = "Man-Caused Disaster"???

Janet Napolitano, the new Homeland Security Secretary, apparently has a policy of avoiding use of the words "terrorism" and "terrorist". She prefers the poorly-crafted phrase "man-caused disasters."

Yeah, right... This kinda reminds me of the news anchors describing a guy with a bomb strapped to his chest as a "homicide bomber" instead of "suicide bomber." You know you've heard them do it. Did you notice it?

Is this political correctness or just stupidity?

Here's an interview with Mrs. Napolitano in Germany's "Der Spiegel":
