On Homeland Security: Uses term 'man-caused disasters' instead of 'terrorism'

In these politically correct times, it's even too much to ask that our own government refer to Islamic terrorists as "Islamic terrorists." Instead we hear the deliberately vague expression "extremists." This is nonsense. People who want to kill Americans are terrorists. Apparently even the word "terrorism" is too judgmental, since Janet Napolitano announced shortly after being named secretary of homeland security that she preferred the ridiculous term "man-caused disasters."
