They want to move away from the politics of fear except when it suites
them( global warming, the economy).


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.

Good for her. "Terrorism" is a loaded word. It gets bandied about way
too much.

I suggest we declare "War on Assholes".
