Taliban Planning Massive 'Man-Caused Disaster' in Washington

Janet Napolitano, call your office, looks like there could be a possible man-caused disaster about to hit DC.

The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a Pakistani police academy and said the group was planning a terrorist attack on the U.S. capital.

Baitullah Mehsud, who has a $5 million bounty on his head from the U.S., said Monday's attack outside the eastern city of Lahore was in retaliation for U.S. missile strikes against militants along the Afghan border.

"Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world," Mehsud told The Associated Press by phone. He provided no details.

Could just be the usual trash talk, but then again it could be the real deal. My question is, if this does come to fruition, will we be allowed to call it terrorism?

Of course since there's no longer a war on terror, we'll have to come up with a new phrase. Perhaps we can call it the Conflict Against Mean-Spirited People Who Just Aren't Down With Hopenchange.
