"Man caused disasters"
I bet you recognized that term instantly. [sarcasm OFF].
I think it's sad how we've evolved into not calling things what they truly are.
It's just a very obvious trick.
You can't be accused of being weak on fighting terror if nothing is labeled terror anymore...

This is part of a Washington Times editorial
"The euphemism, used in her first testimony to Congress, was noted by a reporter for Der Spiegel, the German magazine, which asked her whether Islamist terrorism still poses a threat to the United States. 'Of course it does,' she answered. '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.'"
